Gillingham vs Mk Dons - Gillingham hoping to have Parker and Reilly fit for Mk Dons clash

Posted Wednesday, March 28, 2018 by PA

Gillingham will check on the fitness of forward Josh Parker on his return from international duty ahead of the Sky Bet League One match against MK Dons.

Parker has been away with Antigua and Barbuda, while Callum Reilly (hamstring) will be assessed after he was forced off during the first half of the defeat at Bradford, where he started at left-back.

Bradley Garmston was pushed further forwards against the Bantams, while Conor Wilkinson will be hoping to lead the attack again ahead of Tom Eaves.

Midfielder Billy Bingham (broken ankle) is still out, but is making good progress towards his return to action, while defender Aaron Morris (knee) also continues his rehabilitation.

MK Dons will assess Callum Brittain after the midfielder came back from international duty with England Under-20s.

Defender Scott Golbourne has resumed training full time following hip surgery so should be in contention, while midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker could also feature after signing on a short-term deal.

Forward Osman Sow, though, missed the goalless draw against Blackpool last weekend and has been to see a specialist as his unspecified injury continues to be assessed.

On-loan Middlesbrough midfielder Marcus Tavernier is being carefully monitored on his return to full match fitness, while defender Josh Tymon is recovering from groin surgery.
