Evans in fitness race

Rotherham midfielder Gareth Evans faces a race to be fit for the clash at Dagenham.

Evans has been struggling in recent weeks with a thigh problem and missed last Saturday's home defeat to Port Vale but could return to play some part.

Manager Andy Scott threatened to make changes after successive home defeats but recent signing Richard Naylor may have to wait a while longer for his first appearance due to the form of central defenders Michael Raynes and Johnny Mullins.

Scott Griffiths, another recent signing, was substituted during his debut last week but is expected to resume at left-back.

Defender Ryan Cresswell (ankle) and midfielder Mark Bradley (collarbone) are pushing to be included in the squad after recently recovering from injury but goalkeeper Jamie Annerson and defender Luke Foster (both knee) remain long-term absentees.
