Gillingham boss Mark Stimson could recall midfielder Stuart Lewis when his side host Burton in the second round of the FA Cup.

Stimson rested Lewis for Tuesday's 1-0 victory over League One rivals Yeovil and instead went with Kevin Maher alongside Curtis Weston.

Stimson must now decide who will partner Weston, saying: "Kevin got the nod this week but Stuart might get the nod on Saturday."

Long-term injury victims Danny Jackman (shoulder) and Simon King (ankle ligaments) remain sidelined but Stimson has no other injury or suspension concerns.

Stimson made no new additions to his squad before the loan deadline, adding: "We've got the squad that we want to work with until January and then we'll take it from there."

Brewers news

Burton boss Paul Peschisolido must decide whether to make changes to his defence for the clash.

The Canadian pulled no punches following the midweek defeat at Crewe, labelling his side's defending 'sloppy' after seeing his backline torn apart by the pace of Clayton Donaldson, Joel Grant and Calvin Zola.

With Paul Boertien (knee) and Andy Corbett (hip) still sidelined, Aaron Brown and Darren Stride are Peschisolido's only options to freshen things up.

Midfielder Jacques Maghoma and striker Greg Pearson may have played their way back into the starting line-up after their half-time introductions from the bench coincided with an upturn in fortunes for the Brewers at Gresty Road.

Steve Kabba is included in the squad after the striker joined Albion on loan from Brentford.
