Gillingham manager Ronnie Jepson has a couple of injury woes ahead of Gillingham’s trip to Luton Town on Saturday.

 

Striker Gary Mulligan limped off in Gillingham’s Carling Cup defeat to Watford, then missed Gillingham home defeat to Tranmere Rovers last Saturday and is a major doubt for the game. Meanwhille, defender Duncan Jupp is yet again sidelined with a hamstring injury.

 

Efe Sodje saw red against Watford and is serving the second of a three match ban meaning Ian Cox will retain his place at centre half.
