Gillingham vs Leyton Orient preview - Martin missing for Gills

Gillingham will be without Joe Martin when they entertain fellow strugglers Leyton Orient.

Left-back Martin starts a three-match ban after he was sent off during the midweek win over Crawley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Boss Peter Taylor could welcome back centre-half Callum Davies after a leg injury while striker Luke Norris is close to recovering from a knee problem, but Aaron Morris and Amine Linganzi (both hamstring) are still out.

Cody MacDonald will come back into the reckoning after he was rested against Crawley.

Orient are hopeful Jay Simpson will be fit despite the striker limping off during their JPT win over Northampton on Tuesday with a leg injury.

Winger Jobi McAnuff remains on international duty with Jamaica while the O's still have a lengthy injury list including Romain Vincelot (knee), Lloyd James (broken leg), David Mooney (ankle) and Kevin Lisbie (shoulder).

But goalkeeper Adam Legzdins (finger) and full-back Gary Sawyer (knee) made welcome returns to the starting line-up in midweek following spells out and should be involved again.

Defender Scott Cuthbert could be added to the squad after he was rested against the Cobblers.
