Darlington pair Mor Diop and Stuart Giddings are both back in contention for the Quakers' home game with Accrington Stanley on Saturday.

French striker Diop (hamstring) has missed new manager Simon Davey's first two games in charge, while defender Giddings (groin) has been sidelined since the 1-1 draw at Bury early last month.

Davey will also have midfielder Nathan Mulligan available again as he has recovered from illness.

But the Quakers will be without Gareth Waite, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury that requires surgery, while Mark Bower (ankle) and Chris Lumsdon (match fitness) are still not ready to return after long lay-offs.

Darlington, 19 points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, have won two of their last three matches.
