Newport have injury and suspension problems for Barnet clash

Newport are likely to be without a number of players for the home clash against fellow Sky Bet League Two strugglers Barnet.

County, beaten 3-1 at home by Plymouth on Saturday, have lost the services of goalkeeper Joe Day, who was sent off in that game.

And manager Graham Westley must also go into the Bees game without Jamie Turley, Joss Labadie, Lenell John-Lewis and Marlon Jackson.

Fitness checks, meanwhile, look set to be carried out on Jon Parkin, County's goalscorer against Plymouth, and defender Darren Jones.

Barnet will again be without midfielder Sam Togwell after he underwent surgery on a hernia problem.

Gavin Hoyte returned to the starting line-up for the first time in nine months on Saturday following knee ligament damage and played 90 minutes of the 2-0 win over Wycombe, but boss Martin Allen may be loathe to give him another run-out so soon.

Michael Gash and James Pearson are long-term absentees with knee injuries.

And Elliott Johnson remains sidelined with a problem he sustained in the Checkatrade Trophy clash with Norwich earlier this month.
