Craig Robson faces another late fitness test for Dagenham & Redbridge as he bids to overcome a thigh injury to face Dover Athletic.

The former Bognor Regis Town defender missed Saturday’s 5-2 win at Solihull Moors, dropping out of the starting XI at short notice.

It meant there was a reshuffle in defence, with Josh Staunton moving to centre-back, Joe Widdowson at right-back and Frankie Raymond dropping back to left-back.

Should Robson not be passed fit, it is likely that trio will start in those positions again, with Scott Doe the other centre-back and Elliot Justham in goal.

Matt Robinson and Andre Boucaud are expected to anchor the midfield once more after the latter returned from international duty to feature at Solihull.

Jordan Maguire-Drew, Corey Whitely and Fejiri Okenabirhie will again be the team’s attacking midfielders, with Oliver Hawkins leading the line once more.

Luke Howell could continue his comeback from a knee injury by making another appearance from the bench.

However, Luke Pennell (ACL), Luke Guttridge (hamstring) and Curtley Williams (knee) remain long-term doubts.

Probable XI: Justham; Staunton, Doe, Robson, Widdowson; Robinson, Boucaud; Maguire-Drew, Whitely, Okenabirhie; Hawkins
