McCammon could make Gills debut

Gillingham's summer signing Mark McCammon is recovering well from his hamstring injury and could play in Saturday's friendly with Birmingham.

The 29-year-old striker, who joined from Doncaster on 3 July, has yet to feature for the Gills this summer.

But Gillingham boss Mark Stimson has been impressed with his progress.

Stimson said: "I went up the training ground and saw Mark running and I said you're fit. But he said he was only up to 70-75%. He was going well."

"With hamstrings you have to be careful, it's this last 15% that he wants out of himself," the Gills boss added.

"It's that fine line of saying 'do we push him for Saturday or do we wait a couple more days' but he's going in the right direction."

Meanwhile, the Gills have taken Bolton midfielder Michael Burns on a week's trial and he will also be in the squad to face Birmingham.
