Hartlepool full-back Neil Austin, 30, is battling to be fit to maintain his record of having played in every one of his club’s games this season.
He suffered a badly bruised toe when blocking a shot in last week’s goalless draw with Scunthorpe United. Austin has featured in all of the club’s League Two and cup fixtures.
If he fails to recover in time, Jordan Richards looks likely to slot in to the right-back role at Dagenham and Redbridge tomorrow, after he completed a three-game ban following his red card at Fleetwood Town.
Pools seek a double having won the home game between the sides in November.
Both sides are in mid-table though Dagenham are four points and six places better off than their visitors.
