Byrne worry for Exiles
Newport will wait on Mark Byrne before naming their team to tackle Exeter on Sunday.
The midfielder picked up a hamstring strain and is a doubt to line up against the Grecians as Newport look to get end a run of three matches without victory in all competitions.
Midfielder Adam Chapman and striker Danny Crow are back in training after spells on the sidelines but may not be thrown straight back into the starting line-up while Andy Sandell is back after suspension and Ryan Jackson has trained all week having made his comeback in their 4-2 loss at Luton.
Meanwhile boss Justin Edinburgh has confirmed that Joe Pigott and Joe Day will return to their parent clubs when their loan stays end as the Exiles cannot afford to keep them any longer.
Exeter have no fresh injury worries as they look to bounce back from their FA Cup humiliation.
The Grecians were beaten 1-0 at Warrington, a side 100 places below them in the football pyramid, last Friday and boss Paul Tisdale could be tempted to shuffle his pack in a bid to get back to winning ways.
David Noble made his first start since a return to the club in that cup tie and could step out for Jimmy Keohane while two goals in his last three appearances could mean a start for Tom Nichols at Rodney Parade.
Jamie Reid, Pat Baldwin and Jordan Moore-Taylor remain City's three three-long injury absentees while Christy Pym and Matt Grimes came through 90 minutes for England's Under-20s on Wednesday night unscathed.
