Elito is currently on loan with John Still's side but is due back next month after some impressive displays for the Daggers.
Colchester boss John Ward said: "If he's playing regularly, why can't he come back and challenge?
"If our team is firing on all cylinders then we may look at a further loan or whatever, but if not I've got a lad that can come back in who has been playing at our level, which is brilliant."
