Gillingham’s League 2 game at Walsall on Saturday, November 16 is postponed due to international call-ups

Gillingham’s League 2 game at Walsall next weekend has been postponed - because of international call-ups.

Opponents Walsall have four players who represent their national sides. It means the Gills will have two blank weekends this month.

While the game at Walsall is now off the Gills won’t be in action on Saturday, October 30 either, as that’s a weekend dedicated to FA Cup round two. Defeat to Blackpool last weekend in the competition means they won’t be involved.

The Gills host Port Vale this Saturday and then on Tuesday night take on League 1 Stevenage in their final EFL Trophy group stage match.

Victory at Stevenage will see them progress to the knockout stage, anything less and they’ll be out of that cup competition too.

An update from the #Gills manager as Bradley Dack’s set for an intensive week away, Ethan Coleman’s back available and plenty of others aren’t far off
