Gillingham manager Mark Stimson faces an anxious wait to discover if Scott Vernon's loan spell at the club has been ended by an ankle injury.
The Colchester striker suffered the setback making his debut for the Gills against MK Dons on Saturday. He had to be substituted just 41 minutes into his month-long stay and left stadium:mk on crutches.
Stimson told BBC Radio Kent: "It's too swollen, it would take three or four days to assess that. He left on crutches so let's see what happens during the week.
