Jamie Turley set for Newport return

Newport defender Jamie Turley could return for the Sky Bet League Two visit of Cheltenham.

Right-back Turley has missed the last three matches with a knee problem and Kyle Cameron, who arrived on loan from Newcastle on transfer deadline day, is also in contention for a place in the back four.

Midfielder Josh Sheehan is available after representing Wales Under-21s this week and hoping to make his first appearance since arriving on loan from Swansea.

Jon Parkin and Sean Rigg look set to continue their partnership up front with Rhys Healey, on loan from Cardiff, having to be patient for his chance to impress.

Kyle Storer's return from an eight-match ban for Cheltenham has been delayed by a back problem.

Storer is due to have an injection in a bid to solve the issue which also affects his hamstrings, and faces a couple more weeks on the sidelines.

But boss Gary Johnson could welcome back captain Aaron Downes and midfielders Jack Munns and James Dayton.

Downes (knee) and Munns (jaw) came through a reserve game on Tuesday while Dayton has resumed training after his back injection.
