Gillingham have a major doubt over top scorer Vadaine Oliver for their League One clash with Wigan Athletic at Priestfield on Saturday.

The striker was forced off during Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory over Cambridge United with a rib injury and could miss out.

Manager Steve Evans confirmed the striker is unlikely to be risked:

“Vadaine hasn’t trained since Tuesday. If he’s not fit he can’t be picked. He will probably be missing. We’ll pick the strongest team we can.”

Oliver’s injury meant John Akinde had to play the full match on his return from a foot injury but he came through it and could start again while defender Jack Turner is available following suspension.

With Tucker back, manager Steve Evans must decide whether he changes the back four that did so well at The Abbey Stadium in the week.

Mustapha Carayol has a chance of featuring but Ryan Jackson, Dan Phillips and Stuart O’Keefe are all set to miss out.

Wigan boss Leam Richardson must decide whether to make changes.

Richardson has named an unchanged side for the last four league games but Latics slipped off top spot following defeat by Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.

Jack Whatmough came through 90 minutes against the Owls despite concerns over a hamstring problem and should be fine to start.

Midfielder Thelo Aasgaard (knee) is expected to remain sidelined.
