Mooney missing for Us

07 March 2011 16:30
Colchester will be without David Mooney for the trip to Dagenham. The striker starts a three-match ban after receiving a straight red card in the first half of Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Southampton. That paves the way for Steven Gillespie to deputise, although Andy Bond and Ian Henderson could fulfil the unfamiliar role. John-Joe O'Toole is expected to return to the squad. The midfielder made his long-awaited comeback from a 10-month absence against Bristol Rovers last week before being left out against Saints. Defender Magnus Okuonghae will be out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on an ankle problem. Fellow defenders Brian Wilson and Morten Knudsen have returned to training following ankle and knee problems respectively but the game will come too soon for them.
