Gills look to manage King injury better
Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler admits the club must reassess how they deal with Simon King after the defender suffered another setback in his recovery from a long-term ankle injury.
The 27-year-old was left out of the squad to face Stockport after suffering a reaction in a practice match and Hessenthaler admits they must be careful in his rehabilitation.
He told Kent Online: "He is a tricky one and we have to be careful with him.
"He has been working very hard and he is still going to be a little sore with that ankle for a long time and we have to manage him a little bit better.
"What we'll do is ease him along. He wants to train every day but he can't. We might have to have him training and then have a day's rest. He might need to pick and choose his weeks sometimes.
"He is a little bit down, which is understandable, but he travelled with us (to Stockport) and I'm sure he will be okay for next weekend."
