Maher out for Daggers
Dagenham Redbridge,
Last updated:
Kevin Maher is Dagenham & Redbridge's only absentee as the Essex outfit play host to Coventry in the Capital One Cup.
Maher has been forced to undergo another operation to insert a different screw into the pin in his foot to help solve the metatarsal injury which ruled him out for most of last season.
It is hoped the midfielder should be available again within the next couple of weeks.
Otherwise, manager John Still has a fully-fit squad to select from as Dagenham aim to win their first-ever League Cup match in what will be their sixth attempt.
Striker Dwight Gayle is likely to start his first competitive match for the Daggers.
The highly-rated 22-year-old has scored 99 goals in the past two seasons for non-league sides Stansted and Bishop's Stortford and has found the net four times in three pre-season starts for Dagenham.
