The 35-year-old striker has suffered a hairline crack to his rib, but has vowed to battle on with the aid of painkillers when Darlington visit Vale Park (3pm). Vale's assistant manager has suffered a miserable time with injuries after cracking a bone in his hand three weeks before the start of the season.
