Gillingham - Bristol City preview - Dack blow for Gills

Posted Saturday, December 27, 2014 by PA

Bradley Dack looks set to join the Gillingham injury list for Sunday's clash with League One leaders Bristol City.

The midfielder scored his third goal of the season in Boxing Day's 2-1 victory at Colchester but was taken off at half-time with a hamstring problem.

Captain Doug Loft was forced to sit out that success after picking up a knee injury in training.

Forward Danny Galbraith is another struggling with a hamstring injury but defender Aaron Morris did feature for the first time since mid-October after recovering from a similar strain.

League One leaders Bristol City will welcome back Derrick Williams when they visit Priestfield. Williams was sent off after he was shown two yellow cards in their loss at Crewe last week and he sat out the Boxing Day win over Yeovil.

On-loan forward Matt Smith scored his first goal for the club and he will be looking to add to his tally, but the game may come too soon for Wade Elliott and Aaron Wilbraham.

Todd Kane and Joe Bryan will be hoping to retain their starting places, while Steve Cotterill was unable to name a full substitutes' bench on Friday and his squad will be tested with a quick turnaround of games.
