Josh Parker and Lee Martin pushing for Gillingham recalls for Chesterfield visit

Gillingham have no fresh injury worries for the Sky Bet League One visit of Chesterfield.

Midfielders Josh Parker and Lee Martin impressed off the bench during their weekend draw against Port Vale and both could be handed starts at Priestfield Stadium.

Bournemouth loanees Harry Cornick and Joe Quigley could feature after not being involved last time out.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Bradley Garmston are also pushing for starts, with the latter an unused substitute at the weekend following a hamstring injury, but Aaron Morris (knee) is still unavailable.

Striker Ched Evans is in contention to start as Gary Caldwell continues to look for his first win as Chesterfield manager.

Caldwell said he wanted energy up front ahead of the weekend trip to Northampton, and fielded recent signing David Faupala alongside Kristian Dennis. Faupala was on target at Sixfields but, after a 3-1 defeat, Evans could be back in contention.

Should Caldwell wish to make other changes, the likes of Sam Hird, Angel Martinez, Reece Mitchell, Rai Simons, Reece Brown and Osman Kakay are all available.

A virus ruled out Ryan Fulton at the weekend and the on-loan goalkeeper will be assessed before the Spireites travel. Should he not be fit enough to be included, Lloyd Allinson will remain between the posts.
