BLUES boss Paul Sturrock has injury concerns over two of his players for tomorrow’s trip to Dagenham and Redbridge.
The Scotsman would not reveal who the duo in danger of missing out were.
But he did confirm they both played at Preston North End last weekend.
“We have two players getting treatment and they will have fitness tests before the game,” said Sturrock.
“I don’t want to say who they are in public but they both played at Preston last weekend so it is certainly a concern for us.”
So too is the fitness of Barry Corr who has suffered another setback with the knee problem which has stopped him playing so far this season.
“It’s heartbreaking for Barry because he’s a great professional,” said Sturrock.
“He was able to play 20 minutes in a behind close doors friendly but since then he’s been in pain again and we’re awaiting news from the specialist about what to do next with him.”
Fellow forward Blair Sturrock could be back in the squad this weekend after recovering from flu and a groin problem while goalkeeper Glenn Morris may be back on the bench after a month out with a thigh injury.
But Anthony Grant is still out suspended following his red card at Oxford United.
Southend United (from): Daniels, Clohessy, Phillips, Barker, Gilbert, Leonard, Kalala, Ferdinand, Timlin, Hall, Dickinson, Mohsni, Harris, Sawyer, Johnson, Prosser & Morris.
