Dons duo expected to be fit

AFC Wimbledon should welcome back Alfie Potter and Sammy Moore for the visit of Newport.

Winger Potter missed last weekend's draw at Morecambe with a groin problem and midfielder Moore sat out after injuring a toe in training, but boss Neal Ardley expects both to be available.

Defenders Jake Goodman (toe), Andy Frampton (ankle) and Jack Smith (thigh) are set to miss out again.

Veteran striker David Connolly is pushing to make his first start after three substitute appearances since rejoining the club.

It looks to be business as usual for Newport when they make the trip, despite speculation surrounding their manager's future.

Justin Edinburgh has been strongly linked with the vacant Gillingham job this week but he has been training his Exiles ready for the clash with AFC Wimbledon.

And the former Spurs defender has no fresh injury worries and could hand a full debut to Swindon loanee Miles Storey after he featured for the final 11 minutes off the bench last weekend.

Max Porter and Aaron O'Connor came into the side for the 1-0 home defeat to Shrewsbury and the pair will hope to have done enough to stay in the starting line-up as Newport look to end a run of three games without a goal.
