Charlie Sheringham and Jack Pallen back from injury to increase Dartford's attacking options
08:00, 04 August 2011
Dartford strikers Charlie Sheringham and Jack Pallen are back in action after recovering from hamstring injuries.
Sheringham (pictured) picked up his injury against Southend and Pallen limped off in the home game with Gillingham shortly after scoring twice for the Darts.
Both could be key figures this season but are playing catch-up with their fitness levels. They were back in action for Darts in midweek.
Boss Tony Burman said: "They are coming back in the reckoning. They joined in training on Saturday and now they can get some minutes on the pitch because they are behind.
"Jack did well against Gillingham and unfortunately got injured and it was unfortunate that Charlie was also injured. They are feeling pretty good now and hopefully they can come through the next few games okay."
Sheringham and Pallen form half of Burman’s striking options, along with Lee Burns and Danny Harris.
"It’s not a bad forward line," said Burman. "Jack is a young lad and is trying to learn and he can learn from Charlie and the other two."
Sheringham was on target on Tuesday night in the 4-2 win at East Thurrock. Also on the scoresheet were Jon Wallis, James Rogers and Harris.
Rogers has agreed to stay with Dartford for the current season. Burman signed the winger from Margate toward the end of last season.
