Gillingham vs Milton Keynes Dons preview - Martin set for Gills return

Posted Friday, February 13, 2015 by PA

Joe Martin could return to Gillingham's starting line-up for the visit of MK Dons.

The left-back came on as a late substitute in Tuesday night's 2-1 win at Peterborough after recovering from the ankle injury which kept him out of the previous two matches.

Josh Pritchard remains a doubt after suffering a calf injury last weekend but fellow midfielder Amine Linganzi is close to fitness after a hamstring problem.

Aaron Morris is also on the mend following his hamstring injury but is still a week away from returning.

David Martin and Ben Reeves should be fit for the Dons.

Goalkeeper Martin played the entire game on Monday night as Karl Robinson's side lost at Bradford, although he did so while nursing a slight hamstring problem. Winger Reeves, meanwhile, is set to return to the squad after a five-match absence with his hamstring injury.

However, forward Dean Bowditch, another hamstring victim, will be assessed after sitting out the 2-1 defeat to the Bantams.

Milton Keynes boss Robinson, manager of the month for January, has the likes of Will Grigg, Daniel Powell, Samir Carruthers and Devante Cole to call on should he wish to continue his policy of rotating his attacking players.
