Gareth Ainsworth’s reaction after Gillingham's 3-0 win over Dover Athletic as Bradley Dack and Armani Little limp off – Goalkeeper Ollie Wright missed the match because of an injury and Cameron Antwi is recovering from two operations

Gillingham are assessing two injury concerns after their opening pre-season win.

Midfielder Armani Little and playmaker Bradley Dack both limped off in the 3-0 win at Dover - adding further injury concerns for the Gills, who went into the game without their first-choice keeper.

“Picking up a couple of knocks isn’t what I wanted,” Ainsworth said.

“Bradley's had an Achilles tendonitis thing he gets all the time, but he's gone a bit too far and it's too much pain for him to carry on.
