Team news for Monday night's League Two clash between Gillingham and Southend at Priestfield (kick off 7.45pm).

Gillingham goalkeeper Ross Flitney is facing around a month on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery. The 27-year-old has been an ever-present for Andy Hessenthaler's men in League Two this season, but Paul Gazzaniga is now poised to start Monday's televised clash with Southend. Darren Hawkes has been recalled from his loan spell at Maidstone and is will come into the Gills squad as goalkeeping cover. Meanwhile, Paul Sturrock has threatened to make wholesale changes when Southend head south to Kent. The Shrimpers had their promotion push checked as they went down to a 2-0 defeat at home to Rotherham on Friday night, leaving Sturrock furious with their efforts. "In our next game, I will pick 11 boys who listen to what I say and the others will be sat on the bench or in the stands," he said. Kane Ferdinand did not feature in the Southend matchday squad against the Millers and will be hoping for a return to boost Sturrock's attacking options, as will veteran striker Neil Harris, who featured as a second-half substitute last time out. Mark Phillips could return to the Blues defence but faces another late fitness test on his groin injury. Knee injury trio Ryan Leonard, Barry Corr and Harry Crawford are sidelined alongside Lee Sawyer (thigh), while striker Jack Sampson's loan from Bolton has finished.
