Ainsworth keen to replace injured Gills duo
· Yahoo Sports
Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth is looking to sign replacements for injured duo Kadeem Harris and Liam Gordon.
Winger Harris faces a long spell out after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament, while fellow summer signing Gordon has been sidelined by a knee injury of his own.

Harris, 33, was carried off during the 0-0 draw at Fleetwood Town on Saturday, while centre-back Gordon, 30, was injured on his debut against Walsall on the opening day of the league season.
Losing Harris is a particularly big blow for the Gills as he had looked an exciting signing in his three appearances for the club.
"I just feel for him, because he's such a great lad," Ainsworth told BBC Radio Kent.
"He was the star signing. He was the one - that moment of magic for us up and down that wing. He's going to be sorely missed.
"We've now got to crack on without him and I've got to make sure that we fill those gaps, because we've got a week of the (transfer) window left.
"It would have been worse if this had happened after Chesterfield (on 1 September). That would have been really bad luck.
"If there's any silver lining it's that I've lost two big players but there's a week of the window left - and we've got to make sure we get players in to replace them."
It has been a tough start to the season for Ainsworth's side, who are without a number of other injured players and have picked up just one point from their opening two League Two matches.
"One of the things I am really proud of at every club I've been at is that the dressing rooms really do come tight together when things go against them - and they have done," Ainsworth added.
