Dover are set to be boosted by the return of Ricky Modeste when they travel to Dagenham & Redbridge next week.
The winger has been absent for the past three games since being substituted through injury during the 3-0 win over Braintree on March 2.
Whites will welcome back Modeste following his time away with Grenada, along with Anthony Jeffrey and Kadell Daniel who are representing Guyana.
“We’ll have all three of them available,” confirmed first team coach Darren Hare.
“Ricky’s knee will be fine by then, he’s travelled abroad on international duty now along with Anthony Jeffrey and Kadell Daniel.
“We wish them a safe and productive trip and look forward to them coming back.
“It’s a good opportunity for our players to get a little bit of a rest over the next week but we will be fully prepared for the Dagenham game.”
The National League fixture was recently rescheduled from Saturday to Tuesday in light of the trio’s involvement for their respective nations.
Dover head into the weekend with a five-point cushion between themselves and 21st-placed Havant, who lost 2-1 at home to Chesterfield last time out.
They also trail Dagenham by just four points despite their opponents being unbeaten in the last four league outings.
Hare added: “They’re a good side, obviously they have a lot of experience and have a very good manager (Peter Taylor) in charge of them so it’s not going to be an easy game for us.
“But it’s not a game we should fear. We’ve been to Wrexham and won (1-0), we’ve been to Salford and won (3-1).
“Really in this league anybody can beat anybody, even those that are in the bottom four as we were.
“We know that if we’re on our mettle, on our day and we get a little bit of luck which you often need we can get a result.”
An enhanced attacking threat has seen Dover find the net on eight occasions in their last four games, with 23-year-old striker Alfie Pavey responsible for three of the goals.
“I firmly believe if we go with the same level of confidence, same passion and same level of discipline I think we will give them a very good game,” Hare said.
“What we’ve been able to do is continue to create chances. As long as we keep doing that we’ll be fine.”
