Gillingham players Bradley Dack, Ethan Coleman, Elliott Nevitt and Josh Andrews take part in full training ahead of Chesterfield match – Tim Dieng sits it out with an injury

Gillingham manager Mark Bonner could be facing some selection dilemmas soon.

Four players - including recent signing Bradley Dack - are back in full training ahead of their League 2 match against Chesterfield this Saturday.

Transfer deadline: “The budget has been spent”

Dack has yet to make an appearance since he returned to the club, and he’s been joined in full training this week by Ethan Coleman, Josh Andrews and Elliott Nevitt.

Nevitt is another summer addition who has yet to feature.

Bonner said: “We have decisions to make on all of them into whether they are there yet, or not.

“We have another day before we have to decide that but they are really close to contributing, maybe ready for some minutes this weekend, if not then hopefully Tuesday (against Peterborough in the EFL Trophy). If not, then hopefully Doncaster (next weekend in the league).

“Every day is another to get through but they are getting close, which is really encouraging. We are quite pleased with that.

“We are on the cusp of having quite a few players back that would make us quite a bit stronger, which is exciting.”

Oli Hawkins missed out last weekend and Bonner explained why.

“It was a mad one,” he said. “Literally the last kick of training he blocked a shot and fractured his wrist and that was a disaster for us.

“He is in a cast and we’ll miss him for a bit.

“We see the specialist on Monday and he gets his cast changed and then we will know at what stage he might be able to start doing contact and playing again.

“We certainly don’t expect him to play for a couple of weeks.”

Midfielder Tim Dieng, meanwhile, has a slight injury that has kept him out of training.

Bonner said: “He is feeling a bit in his knee and we will see where he is at.”
