LEG INJURY: Steve Lomas will be assessed on Tuesday morning

Gillingham v Leyton Orient

STEVE LOMAS is an injury doubt for Gillingham ahead of their home match against Leyton Orient.

The midfielder has picked up a leg injury and will be assessed by the management team on Tuesday morning.

Definitely out will be Mark Bentley who will be given a little longer to recover from an ankle injury. Aaron Brown, meanwhile, faces at least another two weeks out after suffering with a groin injury.

Mick Docherty and Iffy Onuora remain in temporary charge for the match at Priestfield.

Docherty is well aware of the difficult challenge Orient bring but is hoping Saturday’s performance will give them a boost.

He said: "They’ve taken a lot of people by surprise and they’ve won all four of their away games which speaks volumes.

"They are obviously not just sitting back and just accepting a point, they are going for the opportunities when they arise.

"We will have our work cut out and we are well aware of that. After Saturday’s game we shouldn’t have anything to fear."
