Chesterfield v Gillingham
The SMH Group Stadium
Tuesday April 8, 2025
Sky Bet League Two
Kick-Off, 7.45pm
Team News:
Gareth Ainsworth has no fresh injury or suspension concerns ahead of the trip to Chesterfield so the squad could look very similar to the one named at Salford.
Ethan Coleman (calf) could possibly travel, however his fitness continues to be monitored.
As for the hosts, Kyle McFadzean could make the starting XI having been named on the bench at the weekend. Harvey Araujo and Darren Oldaker may also get the nod along with Ryan Colclough.
Manager Comments:
Paul Cook [following Saturday's defeat]: “Tranmere ran all over us. They had more hunger and desire. It clearly looked like the game meant a lot more to them than it did to us. It is really disappointing but it is what it is."
Gareth Ainsworth: "We're ready to take on Chesterfield on Tuesday, which will be at an old-fashioned bigger stadium, and the conditions will probably be a bit better."
