Key players are back in the Dartford squad for Tuesday's crucial Skrill Premier clash at Woking.

The Darts are four points above the Surrey side and a positive result at Kingfield would give them more of a cushion above the drop zone.

On-loan strikers Matt Godden and Adam Birchall return after missing Saturday's FA Cup first round tie at Salisbury, which Dartford lost 4-2.

Defender Tyrone Sterling and striker Jason Prior both featured in that game after injury and could play some part against the Cards.

Dartford manager Tony Burman said: "The two loan guys are back on Tuesday night.

"It’s nice to see Tyrone back; that 25 minutes will have done him good and also Jason. He’s been out for a while and he trained on Thursday night. There was no reaction to the ankle and there’s a possibility that he’s on his way back.

"We wanted to get Tyrone on there. He’s done the last four or five training sessions. Jason’s only had one training session where he’s come through it on Thursday and I thought I’d put him on the bench in case we had to throw him on there. That’s a plus."

Lee Noble came off towards the end of the game at Salisbury, having been on the receiving end of several hefty challenges.

Burman said: "Nobes had a couple of knocks and we just felt we had to get him off to save him, more than anything else.

"He’ll play through the pain barrier for you, that’s for sure.

"He’s got an ankle injury and he’s got clumped on it a few times. I took him off because he went over twice and we just wanted to be cautious."

Darts skipper Elliot Bradbrook is still struggling with cracked ribs. He tried to train on Thursday night but couldn't complete the session and missed out at Salisbury.

"It's really a day by day thing," Burman said. "He's got to go out and do a jog and if it feels decent, he'll carry on jogging."

Dartford are keen to erase the memories from the Salisbury defeat quickly.

Burman said: "We tried something (playing 4-3-3) and it didn’t go right for us. But it went wrong because of individual mistakes.

"I’ll hopefully have more players to choose from on Tuesday night. Slowly but surely, we’re getting some numbers back.

"It will be treated differently when we go to Woking and it’s a league game. We’re not in the FA Cup any more and we’ll try to get some points at Woking."

Kick-off at Kingfield is at 7.45pm.
