Myles Weston is a doubt for the trip to Cheltenham due to an ankle injury.
His last appearance came as a substitute in the Easter Monday win over Rotherham.
And Gills boss Martin Allen revealed that the frontman (pictured) only played in that game after having a pain-killing injection.
Allen said: "Two days before the (Rotherham) game, I asked him if he would consider having an injection in his ankle to help me and to help our club.
"He had an injection and he rested it and when he came on as a substitute, he wasn’t at his best.
"His ankle joint didn’t feel right but he continued to play because of the tension and the excitement of the occasion. Sometimes when people are critical of the players, they don’t always know the full story."
Allen is certain to make some changes, with Charlie Lee, Andy Frampton and Deon Burton among those hoping to return to the starting XI.
