Gillingham Football Club has confirmed that Kadeem Harris will spend a lengthy spell on the sidelines after rupturing his ACL at Fleetwood Town on Saturday afternoon. The club's medical staff will begin a rehabilitation program with Harris immediately.
What happened to Kadeem Harris?
According to the Gillingham Football Club, Harris was stretchered off after 70 minutes at Highbury when the ground made way under his foot, causing his knee injury. He was replaced by Conor McManus. The injury is a huge loss to the team, as Harris was one of the star signings in the summer window. Manager Gareth Ainsworth said: "Kadeem was one of our star signings in the summer window so to now be without a player of his calibre, quality and professionalism is a huge loss to the group."
How will this affect Gillingham's season?
As of the final 2025 table, Gillingham stood 17th in England League Two, with 53 points, 13 wins, 14 draws, and 19 losses from 46 games, and a recent form of WLLLD.
