Oxford United have almost a clean bill of health as they visit Dagenham & Redbridge this afternoon.

Of the group in head coach Michael Appleton’s plans, only Patrick Hoban is unavailable, although he is back in training and could be ready to play next weekend.

Tom Newey, back from a loan at Northampton Town, is injured and not in the frame.

Dagenham boss Wayne Burnett also has few injury concerns.

Long-term absentee Zavon Hines (knee) is likely to be named on the bench, alongside ex-United players Alex Jakubiak and Damian Batt.

Left back Joe Widdowson is eligible to play after signing from Bury yesterday following a loan spell at Victoria Road.
