Gillingham will check on the fitness of forward Josh Parker on his return from international duty ahead of the League One match against MK Dons tonight.

Parker has been away with Antigua and Barbuda, while Callum Reilly (hamstring) will miss the game after he was forced off during the first half of the defeat at Bradford City, where he started at left-back.

Bradley Garmston was pushed further forwards against the Bantams, while Conor Wilkinson will be hoping to lead the attack again ahead of Tom Eaves.

Midfielder Billy Bingham (broken ankle) is still out, but is making good progress towards his return to action, while defender Aaron Morris (knee) also continues his rehabilitation.

Skipper Lee Martin has been ill this week, but will be given every chance to feature, whilst Alex Lacey is back available for selection.

MK Dons will assess Callum Brittain after the midfielder came back from international duty with England Under-20s. Defender Scott Golbourne has resumed training full time following hip surgery so should be in contention, while midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker could also feature after signing on a short-term deal.

Forward Osman Sow, though, missed the goalless draw against Blackpool last weekend and has been to see a specialist as his unspecified injury continues to be assessed. On-loan Middlesbrough midfielder Marcus Tavernier is being carefully monitored on his return to full match fitness, while defender Josh Tymon is recovering from groin surgery.

Gillingham have never lost at home against MK Dons in all competitions (W4 D2).

MK Dons have won each of their last two league matches against the Gills, winning 1-0 earlier this season.

Gillingham have only lost one of their 11 home league matches under manager Steve Lovell (W3 D7).

Since picking up just two points in his first seven League One matches in charge (D2 L5), MK Dons have collected seven points from their last three games (W2 D1) under Dan Micciche.
