Gillingham will go into Saturday’s game against Shrewsbury Town hoping for their first league win of the season.

Fresh from having beaten Southend United 2-1 in Tuesday night’s Checkatrade Trophy clash at Priestfield, just days after the two sides played out a 3-3 draw in the league, Ady Pennock’s side will be hoping they have turned a corner and can pick up their first three points of the campaign.

The past few days has seen Josh Wright leave the club, having his contract ended by mutual consent, whilst Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Sean Clare has been brought in to fill the void, signing on loan until January.

Goalkeeper Steve Arnold could feature against Shrewsbury despite suffering a broken nose and damage to his teeth against Southend.

Arnold will have his fitness assessed by the club’s medical staff following a visit to the dentist, but could be pressing Tomas Holy for the keeper’s jersey.

Shrewsbury full-back Joe Riley is pushing for a start after his dramatic winner against Coventry on Tuesday.

Riley had been out for four months with an ankle injury but came off the bench to score with a free-kick and seal a 3-2 victory for the Shrews.

On-loan forward Niall Ennis is still struggling with a knock while new signing Omar Beckles is likely to make way, despite making his debut in midweek.

Abumere Ogogo, Mat Sadler and Alex Rodman were among those rested and are all expected to return to the starting line-up.

Shrewsbury have had a fantastic start to the season, winning three and drawing the other of their four games and they sit 3rd in League One going into the game, whilst The Gills sit 21st with just two points to their name.
