ADRIAN PENNOCK is certain to be recalled to the Gillingham line-up for Tuesday's Worthington Cup, third round, tie against Premier League Southampton at Priestfield

providing he has fully recovered from a groin strain.

Pennock has been absent for the past four matches. Mark Saunders could be handed a midfield role at the expense of either Marcus Browning or Ty Gooden.

During the club's trip to La Manga, player-manager Andy Hessenthaler has been giving serious consideration to Tuesday's side with the possibility of making changes.
