Garmston and Ogilvie fitness boost for Gillingham

Posted Friday, March 16, 2018 by PA

Gillingham should be able to call on Bradley Garmston and Connor Ogilvie for the visit of leaders Blackburn.

The pair have been struggling with illness but are fine to be involved against Rovers. Rhys Murphy and Liam Nash are still unwell, however.

Midfielder Billy Bingham (broken ankle) and defender Aaron Morris (knee) are also still missing.

Boss Steve Lovell has a decision to make up front after he took off striker Tom Eaves at half-time of the 3-1 comeback win at Portsmouth last week and replaced him with Conor Wilkinson, who found the net.

Blackburn will be without Ryan Nyambe as they aim to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

The right-back has a hamstring injury picked up against Blackpool and will be out for a few weeks, though boss Tony Mowbray has plenty of options at his disposal.

Long-term absentee Harry Chapman (hamstring) is now back training and was due to feature for the Under-23s on Monday but their game was postponed and that could mean he misses out this weekend.

There are no other fresh concerns for Mowbray, whose side have won five of the last six games.
