DARREN Currie will be back on the bench when Southend United host King's Lynn at Roots Hall on Friday night.

Currie missed Blues' FA Trophy defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday after testing positive for Covid.

But Blues assistant manager will be back alongside boss Kevin Maher tomorrow night.

“Daz is alright and he’s back in now,” said Maher.

“He was off for a few days and he was desperate to get back in with the lads.

“But the club’s in a good place, the training has been good and we’re looking forward to the game.”
