Simeon Jackson is expected to return on Tuesday night when Gillingham travel to Blue Square South side Bromley.

Last season’s 21-goal top scorer has missed the opening weeks of the pre-season campaign due to international commitments with Canada in the Gold Cup.

Jackson (pictured) returns as a fully-fledged international player, with six caps under his belt, but it will be back to reality at Bromley as the Gills continue with their pre-season preparations.

Manager Mark Stimson said: "He will play if he is happy to and the last time I spoke to him he was."

Jackson will take part in his first training session on Tuesday morning.

Stimson will take a first team squad to Bromley and will give most of his players just 45 minutes of play.

He said: "We’ll probably start with near the best and then might make a lot of changes at half-time.

"With this injury factor thing, every time you play a competitive game you are dicing with an injury and someone being out for a week or two, or longer.

"We could possibly bring in trialists because of injuries and I know there are a lot of people out there who still haven’t got clubs."
