Missing out - Southend United youngster Beau MacDonald (Image: NICKY HAYES)
SOUTHEND United were unable to call upon midfielder Beau MacDonald against Dagenham & Redbridge due to issues surrounding his registeration.
The Shrimpers selected just six substitutes for Monday's 2-2 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge despite MacDonald being fit to play.
But Blues boss Kevin Maher has revealed why he was not able to call upon the youngster.
Maher said: "He hadn't been registered with the FA on their site and until that happens he couldn't be on the bench."
