Ogogo may be no-go

Dagenham manager Wayne Burnett has hinted he may rest Abu Ogogo when his side host relegation-threatened Northampton.


The Daggers captain has been an almost ever-present this season but Burnett confirmed a long hard season may have taken its toll on the midfielder's fitness.


Ade Azeez missed Monday's 1-0 defeat to promoted Chesterfield with a thigh injury and it remains to be seen whether five days will be long enough for the young striker to recover.


Chris Dickson also missed that clash for personal reasons but could return while defender Scott Doe is in line for a return having completed a three-match suspension.


Northampton will welcome back Zander Diamond when they visit Victoria Road.


The Scottish defender, on loan from Burton, missed Monday's disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Portsmouth after being stretchered off at Wycombe on Good Friday but will return, manager Chris Wilder confirmed.


With his return, the Cobblers boss should have no fresh injury concerns and could hand youngster Ivan Toney his first start this year after the striker impressed as a half-time substitute on Monday.


Joe Widdowson (ankle) is not expected to feature again this season after being forced off at home to Hartlepool back in February.
