Gillingham will be ringing the changes once again as they face Bournemouth for a place in the second round of the FA Cup.

The first round replay takes place at Priestfield on Tuesday night and the winner will face a trip to Leyton Orient in the next round on December 3.

Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler will be forced into shuffling his side once more for the visit of League 1 Bournemouth.

He said: "Obviously there have to be changes because Jo Kuffour and Frank Nouble won’t be available.

"We will have to reshuffle, which I don’t like doing. I would rather keep us consistent but that’s the way it is and it will give a couple of other players an opportunity to come in on Tuesday night."

Loan pair Kuffour and Nouble are ineligible as their parent clubs don’t want them cup tied.

Hessenthaler will hope fellow striker Danny Kedwell (pictured) can play again after featuring in the win over Aldershot at the weekend, despite suffering from a toe injury.

The Gills will be hoping Danny Jackman is given a clean bill of health after picking up a hamstring strain in the win at Aldershot.

Right-back Matt Fish could be back in contention after missing the weekend trip with a groin injury.
