Yeovil Town vs Gillingham preview - Quartet set for Glovers bow

Posted Friday, February 20, 2015 by PA

Yeovil could hand debuts to four new signings when they host Gillingham.

The rock-bottom Glovers have been busy this week, adding Swansea duo Josh Sheehan and Stephen Kingsley, former fans' favourite Byron Webster, who arrives from Millwall, and free agent Craig Eastmond to their squad.

But boss Terry Skiverton will, however, be without his captain Joe Edwards. The former Bristol City man missed their defeat to Doncaster last weekend having rolled his ankle and he will be forced to sit out the Huish Park clash.

Skiverton, who was handed a triple injury boost this week as Liam Davis, Nathan Ralph and Joel Grant returned to training after injury, will wait on the results of a scan on Ajay Leitch-Smith's leg injury before naming his squad.

Gillingham will assess the fitness of midfielders Josh Pritchard and Amine Linganzi before they make the trip to Somerset.

Pritchard (calf) and Linganzi (hamstring) both missed last weekend's emphatic 4-2 win over MK Dons and even if passed fit they may have to settle for spots on Justin Edinburgh's bench against the Glovers.

Aaron Morris (hamstring) will also be monitored while Luke Norris will hope his midweek hat-trick in the 6-0 development team win over Peterborough will earn him some game time at Huish Park.

The Gills make the trip in confident mood having gone seven games unbeaten in all competitions.
