DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE striker Mark Nwokeji is expected to return to training next week after almost a year out of action.
The forward last played for Daggers in a 1-0 defeat to Darlington on January 31, 2009, before rupturing the posterior cruciate in his left knee in a training ground collision.
But the 27-year-old, who has netted five times since joining the club, could force his way back into manager John Still's plans in the near future.
