Gillingham are likely to be without striker Rene Howe and winger Tristan Plummer, who both have hip problems.Curtis Weston could return in midfield, but Simon King (ankle), Garry Richards (conjunctivitis) and Jacob Erskine (ankle) are all out.
Tranmere left-back Zoumana Bakayogo is set to return after being suspended for Saturday's defeat by Oldham.
Gareth Edds, Craig Curran and Ian Goodison are all doubts, while Bas Savage (Achilles) is still sidelined.
