Gillingham could have another striker option for the weekend after the return to the club of loan forward Asher Agbinone.
The 19-year-old has been back at Crystal Palace recovering from a hamstring injury but has recently returned to train with the Gills.
Lively forward Agbinone made four starts under boss John Coleman before his injury in early February.
Speaking about Agbinone, Coleman said: “We’re not sure whether he’s available for Saturday but he’s joined in training today (Thursday) which was a boost for us.
“We’ll monitor him and we’ll liaise with Palace and see what the best plan of attack is for him.”
Euan Williams is “more or less fit” said the manager but fellow midfielder Ethan Coleman is still a few weeks away from being available.
Coleman also added that they had “one or too niggles but nothing out of the ordinary.”
The Gills boss also mentioned a baby boom at the club, with captain Armani Little and his partner having a daughter recently.
“People were pleased about that,” said the manager. “I think we’ve got quite a few players who were expecting children.”
Striker Marcus Wyllie has made a couple of substitute appearances for Dagenham after joining them on loan.
“I think he needs games,” said the manager.
“He’s made the step up (from non-league Enfield) and once he’s made the step up you want to be playing.
“I had a good chat with him this morning, I watched his games and the minutes he’s played.
“He was impressive on Saturday. Unlucky not to score a couple. Hopefully he’ll get more and more minutes there.”
There are plenty of players not getting minutes with the Gills, including top scorer Jayden Clarke and big summer signing Bradley Dack.
On Clarke’s absence, he said: “A few of the players on the fringes we don’t feel are sharp enough yet.
“In order to put them in and get them sharp we would have to take someone out who is sharp. It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
“It’s down to training to get your sharpness. If you can impress and buy into what we’re trying to play, which is quite high-tempo, high-energy, I think everyone has an opportunity to play.”
And on Dack, he added: “Bradley is obviously an unbelievable talent but he is just lacking sharpness, to get involved in the games. It’s another chicken and the egg situation.
“In order to get sharp he will feel he has to play but we haven’t got the time to play people through into sharpness.
“It is an age-old problem when players are out of the side and they miss a big part of the season, or pre-season, but there is an opportunity to get sharp in training.”
