Gillingham will be without suspended forward Mikael Ndjoli as they host Blackpool in Sky Bet League One.

Ndjoli, on-loan from Bournemouth, was sent off in added-time during his side’s Carabao Cup defeat to Newport County on penalties.

Summer signing Ousseynou Cisse could return after being substituted against Burton Albion on August 10 after sustaining a knock.

Manager Steve Evans is set to make a late call on Matty Willock as he recovers from a hamstring strain.

Having not played since last Tuesday after Saturday’s League One clash at Bury was called off, The Gills will be keen to get their first win of the season under their belts.

Blackpool duo Joe Nuttall and Jay Spearing could make their returns to the matchday squad against the Gills.

Seasiders captain Spearing injured his shoulder in a collision with a Macclesfield player during the Carabao Cup defeat and missed the match against Oxford on Saturday.

Striker Nuttall has missed the last two matches after picking up a knock in training.

Matty Virtue is expected to remain sidelined.
