Gillingham take on Coventry today in a crucial relegation battle without keeper Paul Gallacher.

Gallacher was recalled to Norwich City after Canaries' back-up keeper Darren Ward suffered a training ground injury on Christmas Day.

Steve Banks returns between the sticks, with Frenchman Bertrand Bossu on the bench.

Gills will also be without Chris Hope, who suffered an ankle injury in the 2-1 defeat at Brighton on Boxing Day.

Gillingham: Banks, Nosworthy, Hills, Smith, Ashby, Cox, Southall, Crofts, Byfield, Pouton, Sidibe. Subs: Bossu, Hessenthaler, Henderson, Roberts, Jarvis
