Boucaud back for Daggers

Dagenham have midfielder Andre Boucaud available against Newport after he missed two matches while away on international duty with Trinidad & Tobago.

Ade Yusuff will be hoping for a first League Two start after coming off the bench to bag both goals in last week's 2-1 win at Accrington.

The Daggers also received a boost this week with the news that striker Rhys Murphy is close to a return to first-team action after a hip injury.

The 23-year-old netted 13 times last season but has been absent since the beginning of March and is yet to feature this term.

Newport will be without teenage defender Regan Poole when they make the trip.

The 16-year-old, who has been in their last five matchday squads and made two appearances this season, has been called into the Wales Under-17 squad for their trip to Belarus and will miss the Exiles' next three matches.

Andy Sandell and Mark Byrne will hand boss Justin Edinburgh a huge boost by returning to the squad after serving their one-match suspensions in last weekend's win over York.

Adam Chapman's ankle injury saw him miss that victory and he will be assessed in the build-up to kick-off.
