Gillingham v Tranmere Rovers

GILLINGHAM welcome back Ian Cox and Steve Lomas for Saturday's League 1 clash against Tranmere at Priestfield.

The pair were suspended for the midweek cup tie at Watford after being dismissed during the opening day defeat at Cheltenham.

Cox is likely to replace Efe Sodje, who was himself sent off at Watford and is banned on Saturday. The Gills lost an appeal to have his red card rescinded.

Striker Gary Mulligan is also likely to miss the clash after picking up an ankle injury at Vicarage Road.
