Dartford manager Tony Burman faces a selection headache ahead of the visit of Carshalton to Princes Park in the Ryman League Premier Division on Saturday.

Lee Burns will start his delayed three-match ban while Lee Noble sits out one match, meaning Adam Burchell and Joao Carlos could feature.

Allan Tait has had a scan on his calf which revealed a tear and is likely to be out for another fortnight while the news on Jay May (pictured) is more of a concern.

Burman said: “It is a bit worrying. He has had a swollen and sore knee. He is going to have another scan on it. We are a bit concerned at the moment but we’ll wait and see what the scan shows.”

Darts are in a commanding position in the Premier Division, lying 11 points clear of second-placed Hastings with four games in hand.

Danny Barber has rejoined former club Heybridge Swifts on loan.

The Darts have invested in three covers for the Princes Park pitch in an attempt to avoid the pitch freezing or flooding while supporters have also raised more than £500 to pay for a pitch roller which helps remove water from the surface.
