Injured Dartford skipper Elliot Bradbrook will be given "until the last minute" to decide whether he can play in Saturday's FA Cup tie at Salisbury.

The midfielder cracked two ribs against Ebbsfleet in the last round and missed the league game at Forest Green last weekend.

Bradbrook’s original prognosis was that he’d definitely be ruled out of the first-round tie but boss Tony Burman is still holding out hope.

He said: "I’ll leave it until the last minute and see how Elliot feels.

"He was a lot better (at training) on Monday night but we’ve got to be careful.

"The player’s got to be comfortable. If he’s not, he’s not.

"At this stage, he’s not fit but there is still time."

Fellow midfielder Lee Noble has "a chance" of returning to the squad after missing the Forest Green game with an ankle problem.

Tyrone Sterling (calf) could also play some part but Jason Prior (ankle) is still out, while on-loan strikers Adam Birchall and Matt Godden are ineligible.
