Gillingham’s win at Barrow came at a cost after picking up at least two injuries.
Cameron Antwi was making his first start for the Gills but limped off after just half an hour following a heavy tackle.
Captain Armani Little lasted less than an hour as he went off with a muscle strain.
“Cameron was looking really good,” said the Gills boss Gareth Ainsworth, as he commented on the injuries after the 1-0 win at Barrow.
“He’s put a big tackle in. That’s a positive side. We know the boy’s going to tackle for us and that’s what you have to do in a Gillingham shirt.
“The fans will be proud of that. He really went in, Sam Gale-style, I might say.
“I think he rolled his ankle in the tackle. We’ll have to have a look at that.”
Antwi, 24, signed for the Gills in the January transfer window but had to be patient for his opportunity, with four substitute appearances before getting his chance in the starting XI on Saturday.
He replaced Bradley Dack, who was on the bench, but it was Euan Williams who got the nod to replace Antwi when he went off injured.
Dack was named among the subs but didn’t warm up and didn’t make an appearance.
Ainsworth said: “We’ve got a little issue with Bradley as well, yes. But [he’s] absolutely fine. He’ll be back very soon as well.”
On the injury to his captain, Ainsworth added: “Armani just felt a muscle and we’ve got to have a look at that.
“There were a couple of other [knocks] picked up, which we’ll see where they are in the week.”
Home player Jovan Malcolm was stretchered off following a challenge from Ethan Coleman.
Commenting on Malcolm’s injury, Ainsworth said: “We’re hoping he’s going to be okay. It was a full-blooded tackle.
“There were a couple of full-blooded tackles that went on. It’s League Two football and it shows the commitment.
“[Barrow manager] Dino Maamria’s boys are committed, without a shadow of a doubt, but so am I.
“It was just a 50-50 in the middle of the park. We wish the boy well.
“My boys were saying there was a nasty gash on his leg. Hopefully, it’s not much more than that. We’ll see. I really do wish him well. Hopefully, he’ll be back soon.”
