Gillingham v Blackpool
THERE is no let up in Gillingham's injury problems ahead of Saturday's visit of Blackpool to Priestfield.
Manager Neale Cooper has just 15 fit players to choose from for the match as he tries to turn around the worst attacking force in League 1.
Steven Hislop (groin) and Danny Jackman (ankle) are the latest additions to the injury list, with Danny Spiller (ankle), Alan Pouton (knee), Jason Brown (hand), Brent Sancho (hamstring) and Paul Shields (ankle) all out.
Darren Byfield has been out for over a month with knee and nerve problems, but Cooper has admitted he may be forced to gamble on his top scorer.
He said: "He’s going to do some light work and we’ll look at him and make a decision. He’s a risk but we have to turn it around."
