Akinde absent for Daggers

Akinde joined on loan from Bristol City last month but has not even trained with his new side as he battles a groin injury.

He has now returned to Ashton Gate to receive treatment as he hopes to avoid surgery on the problem.

Fellow striker Josh Scott has been struggling with a mystery illness and was diagnosed with a blood clot this week so will be out of action for a few weeks.

Midfielder Danny Green misses the second match of his three-game suspension so manager John Still is set to name an unchanged side.

The Daggers breathed life into their survival hopes by battering Brentford 4-1 in midweek.
