Stevenage Borough vs Dagenham and Redbridge - Double trouble for Stevenage against Dagenham

Posted Sunday, December 27, 2015 by PA

Stevenage have two fresh injury concerns ahead of their Sky Bet League Two clash with bottom side Dagenham & Redbridge on Monday.

Defender Jerome Okimo pulled up in the warm-up prior to the Boxing Day defeat at Crawley and midfielder Chris Whelpdale hobbled off early in the game.

Both could be out, joining defender Fraser Franks (knee) and midfielder Dean Parrett (hamstring) on the sidelines.

On-loan midfielder Jamille Matt is in contention after returning from a groin injury off the bench against Crawley while defender Dean Wells is also pushing to return. Teenager Ben Kennedy is set to return to the club next week after being allowed an extended period of rest.

Warren Hackett and Darren Currie will remain in charge of the struggling Daggers following the recent departure of Wayne Burnett.

The pair took over as joint caretaker bosses last week but saw their side beaten 3-0 by Cambridge on Saturday.

But Dagenham have at least won once at Broadhall Way this season, in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in October, and Currie told the club's website: "We will remind them of that. They will be low but we will lift them."

Forward Zavon Hines (knee) and midfielder Matt Richards (Achilles) remain on the sidelines.
