Team News

Gillingham

The Gills have injury and illness problems as they look to get their slim playoffs chances back on track at home to mid-table Rotherham. Barry Ashby is out having aggravated a hamstring injury in midweek whilst Roland Edge is doubtful. Tommy Johnson, Vince Bartram and Jason Brown have all been struggling with flu over the past few days but are expected to be fit while Nayron Nosworthy is available after a ban.

Rotherham

The Miller's, who have had an excellent season will have to do without several players as they make the long trip to Priestfield. Andy Monkhouse (knee), Rob Scott (shoulder), Darren Garner (ankle) and Marvin Bryan (calf) are all doubtful with injury and Chris Swailes and Darren Byfield serve one match bans. Gareth Farrelly is poised to make his debut and 16 year old Will Hoskins could well be called into the side.
