Strikers Danny Kedwell and Luke Norris are facing a battle to be fit for Gillingham this weekend.

Both sustained knocks last week and their absence would leave the Gills light in attack.

Boss Peter Taylor hasn’t ruled out bringing in another striker as emergency cover but is hopeful at least one will be fit to face Bristol City in the FA Cup first round on Saturday.

Kedwell took a knock on his knee last week at Fleetwood which forced him off.

Taylor said: “He got a wallop and we were going to get it scanned on Monday but it improved. It still hasn’t improved enough to guarantee him playing Saturday.

“It is just about whether he can join in at the end of the week in training. Doing no training and then playing, I don’t think does him any favours.”

Fellow striker Norris was also suffering with a swollen knee after getting a kick at Fleetwood. He also missed training at the start of the week.
