Mark Cousins is set to return in goal for Dagenham & Redbridge when they face Worthing of the Ryman Premier in the FA Trophy.

The keeper has been between the sticks for all of Daggers’ cup matches this season and is likely to take over from league regular Elliot Justham to face the Rebels.

With no league points at stake, Daggers boss John Still may also opt to start some of his academy prospects, with both Tyrique Hyde and Joe White having been involved with the first-team in recent weeks.

That should, in theory, give Still a chance to rest some of his key players, having said in recent weeks he would like to give both Luke Guttridge and Jordan Maguire-Drew a break.

Things are improving on the injury front, though Saturday may come to early for Craig Robson (knee), Fejiri Okenabirhie (shin) and Sam Ling (groin).

Matt Robinson (broken leg), Luke Howell (knee), Luke Pennell (knee) and Curtley Williams (knee) will all definitely miss out.

Oliver Hawkins has recovered from the back injury that kept him out of the win at Dover Athletic, but will likely be rested.

Probable XI: Cousins; Staunton, Doe, Okuonghae, Raymond; Boucaud, Hyde; White, Whitely, Assombalonga; Benson
