In a recent match against Millwall, summer recruit Little, who joined from AFC Wimbledon, looked promising but injured his ankle soon after. Manager Mark Bonner mentioned, “We probably won’t see Armani in the next four friendlies. We aim to have him back the week leading up to Carlisle.”
Coleman, who had an ankle injury last season, has been resting and rehabbing but hasn’t seen much progress. He is set to meet a specialist on Monday to determine if any intervention is needed.
Additionally, attacking midfielder Jonny Williams missed the weekend game with a groin injury, and striker Josh Andrews had to come off after just 30 minutes due to a tight quad. Bonner explained, “Josh has been pushing through with a tight quad. It’s risky to play him at this stage, so we’re ensuring everyone is fit for the start of the season.”
Ashley Nadesan returned to training on Friday after an injury, while George Lapslie and youngster Ashley Giles are expected back this week. Both Nadesan and Lapslie are available for transfer, but Bonner is keeping them involved for now, stating, “Everyone is here until they are not here.”
Gillingham is set to play away at Dartford on Tuesday night.
