The Stones boss became unwell on Monday and has been recuperating at home ever since. He had hoped to travel but has taken advice to remain at home until he’s 100%.

Craig Fagan and Zach Foster-Crouch will take charge of this afternoon’s match. The pair have been in regular contact with George throughout the week and will continue to be in the lead-up to kick-off today.

Everyone connected with Maidstone United sends their best wishes to George and looks forward to seeing him back at the Gallagher next week.
