Southport vs Dagenham preview - McDonald returns for Sandgrounders

Southport have defender Clayton McDonald back after suspension as they look to upset Dagenham in the FA Cup.

However, the Vanarama Conference strugglers are without the banned Scott Kay for their first-round replay against the Sky Bet League Two Daggers.

Richard Brodie should be available after being an unused substitute in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Dartford following a calf strain and Micah Evans may be a surprise inclusion in the squad after six weeks out with a hamstring injury.

Walsall loanee Amadou Bakayoko has not been given permission to play in the cup, though.

Dagenham will be without striker Ade Yusuff.

Yusuff, signed from Chatham Town in September, is cup-tied so boss Wayne Burnett must decide whether to hand Rhys Murphy his first start of the season, while Jamie Cureton provides an alternative option.

Murphy made his third appearance off the substitutes' bench in the weekend defeat at AFC Wimbledon following a hip injury and Cureton has recently overcome a hamstring problem.

Burnett, who has no major new injury worries, could recall fit-again midfielder Joss Labadie (hamstring) to his starting line-up.
