Coventry midfielder Bayliss faces late fitness test ahead of Gillingham clash

Coventry will again check on midfielder Tom Bayliss ahead of the Sky Bet League One match against Gillingham.

Bayliss has been struggling with a heel problem, which saw him miss last weekend’s home defeat by Blackpool.

Zain Westbrooke could again deputise in midfield, while defender Jordan Willis continues to be monitored over an on-going knee problem.

Midfielder Abu Ogogo has seen his contract cancelled by mutual consent and subsequently joined Bristol Rovers.

Gillingham report no fresh injury problems and have bolstered their attack by the signings of Billy King from Dundee United and Preston forward Graham Burke.

Former Rangers winger King joins the Gills on loan until June having arrived at Priestfield on Tuesday afternoon. Ahead of the transfer deadline, Burke, who came through the youth ranks at Aston Villa, completed his loan switch, which runs until May 4.

Midfielder Callum Reilly could be back in contention following a muscle strain, but defender Alex Lacey remains sidelined by an ankle problem.

Billy Bingham continues to work his way back to full match fitness and the midfielder is expected to return for next week’s home game against Barnsley.
