Cheltenham Town v Gillingham

GILLINGHAM will be missing Duncan Jupp and Craig Armstrong for Saturday's League 1 opener at Cheltenham.

Manager Ronnie Jepson refused to be drawn on his starting line-up, but the defensive pair are both suffering with hamstring injuries.

Andrew Crofts will captain the side.

Jepson said: "Cheltenham is a difficult place to go for a starter. It will be very tight, but we're looking for a good start."
