No new worries for Seasiders

Blackpool manager Neil McDonald has no fresh injury worries for his side's clash with Gillingham in Sky Bet League One.

The Seasiders are unbeaten in three games in the league and McDonald believes competition in the squad is strong.

He said: "All the forwards are fighting for their place and they've got to keep on scoring or people will take their place."

Mark Cullen and Uche Ikpeazu are pushing for starts after both coming on as substitutes in the last two games.

Gillingham this week bolstered their defensive options with the signing of Adam Chicksen on loan from Championship side Brighton.

The full-back had a spell at the Priestfield Stadium during the 2014-15 season and is set to go straight into Justin Edinburgh's squad.

Forward Rory Donnelly missed the win over Peterborough after struggling with a back problem during the warm-up, but he has trained this week and could press Luke Norris for a place in the starting XI.

Cardiff centre-half Deji Oshilaja is also expected to rejoin the Gills having been on loan, so could be available if the deal is agreed in time.
