Gillingham have received mixed team news ahead of their FA Cup second-round trip to Preston.

Goalkeeper Stuart Nelson serves a one-match suspension following his sending-off in last weekend's 1-1 draw at Accrington meaning Tommy Forecast, who stepped in for the final 20 minutes, is set to start from the off.

Defender Connor Essam has also been ruled out of the tie with a dead leg.

But there are positives for manager Martin Allen after leading goalscorer Danny Kedwell and midfielder Jack Payne, both of whom missed out last weekend with respective groin and ankle injuries, were passed fit.

Joe Martin has also been cleared to play after missing over a month with a wrist injury.

However, defender Tom Flanagan (fractured metatarsal) remains sidelined.
