Gillingham will be without injured duo Mark Byrne and Regan Charles-Cook for the trip to Barnsley, but have been boosted by the arrival of a loan signing.

The midfielders picked up hamstring problems in last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Coventry City, but Steve Lovell is boosted with the loan signing of Connor Ogilvie for a second spell with the club.

Summer signing Josh Rees, who has not featured since his summer move from Bromley, will be involved after overcoming an ankle issue and proving his fitness in a practice match on Monday.

Midfielder Dean Parrett remains unavailable due to a hamstring problem, but teenager Bradley Stevenson could be recalled to Steve Lovell’s squad.

New Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow faces a late fitness test ahead of a potential debut in the League One clash with The Gills.

Woodrow, who joined the unbeaten Tykes from Fulham last week, is a doubt due to a muscle injury.

Full-back Dimitri Cavare could be involved, despite a slight muscle problem, but winger Lloyd Isgrove is still a week away from returning to training. Midfielder Ryan Hedges, who is yet to feature this season, remains sidelined through injury.

Barnsley have won six of the last seven games against Gillingham, but did lose the most recent clash 1-2 back in February 2016.

This will be Gillingham’s 15th trip to Oakwell in all competitions – they have only managed one victory in the previous 14 matches (D3 L10), a 1-0 win back in August 1968.

Barnsley striker Kieffer Moore has already scored as many league goals for the Tykes this season in five matches as he managed in 20 games last season in the Championship (four goals).

Gillingham have won just three of their last 16 matches in all competitions (D6 L7), winning none of the last four (D2 L2).

Barnsley have had 39 shots on target in League One so far this season – 11 more than any other side.
