Gillingham's apparent injury curse just got worse with the news that Kadeem Harris has been ruled out for an extended period after injuring his knee against Fleetwood Town.

Harris was stretchered off, clearly emotional, with fans worried that the team had been struck with another lengthy player absence.

Those concerns were confirmed on Monday night when the club posted a short statement to social media and their official website clarifying Harris' injury.
