Ian Henderson banned for Gillingham game

Ian Henderson will complete his four-match suspension when Rochdale entertain Gillingham at Spotland.

Dale have only dropped two points in the three games Henderson has sat out so far and he will miss out for a final time due to the red card he received against Wigan.

Keith Hill's men beat Blackpool 3-0 at home and he had the luxury of being able to substitute goalscorers Joe Bunney and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

Calvin Andrew (foot) continues to miss out, though.

Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh could make changes to his team after Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Port Vale extended their winless run to four games.

The on-loan Adam El-Abd is again expected to miss out because of a groin problem.

Captain John Egan replaced him, and is likely to retain his place, but an Achilles injury for Doug Loft means Tuesday's fixture is likely to prove too soon.

Deji Oshilaja could also miss out, having picked up an injury on Saturday, while Dominic Samuel is continuing his rehabilitation from a knee injury.
