Charlton Athletic vs Gillingham - Aribo pushing for starting berth when Charlton take on Gillingham

Posted Sunday, April 16, 2017 by PA

Joe Aribo is pushing to start for Charlton against Gillingham after marking his return from a groin injury with a substitute's appearance in Friday's draw at Coventry.

Boss Karl Robinson must decide whether to risk the midfielder, with Jake Forster-Caskey another option following two games in which he started on the bench.

Defender Lewis Page is out for the season after undergoing an operation on his hamstring.

The 20-year-old joins Harry Lennon and Roger Johnson on the sidelines.

Gillingham have midfielder Bradley Dack available again following his two-match suspension.

Centre-half Zesh Rehman will be assessed after missing Good Friday's win over Bristol Rovers with a hamstring problem.

Chris Herd made his return to the squad following a knee injury, so could be in line for a first appearance since mid-March.

Scott Wagstaff continues his recovery from an Achilles problem along with defender Bradley Garmston (hamstring), while Aaron Morris (knee) is a long-term absentee.
