A catalogue of injury concerns is no big deal for Gillingham boss Martin Allen.

His side left Rochdale on Tuesday night nursing numerous injuries.

They will also be without the versatile Andy Frampton for the home game against Accrington on Saturday as he starts the first of a three-match ban.

"It is no problem to me and it is absolutely no problem to the club, either," said Allen.

"Our players are fit, they are strong and they are fast. They work so hard together as a squad and there are other people now who can come in. It’s their chance to do it.

"They have all played in a winning team and all contributed to our points total."

Bradley Dack (pictured) had to be helped down the tunnel at full-time on Tuesday night, after appearing to suffer an ankle injury, while Chris Whelpdale also came off injured. Others also picked up knocks in the draw.

Myles Weston could, however, be close to a return from his ankle injury. Allen is also likely to bring loanee Danny East back into the squad, along with Michael Richardson if he can extend the Newcastle man’s loan.
