Louis Laing back to boost Notts County

Louis Laing comes back into contention for Notts County as the in-form Magpies prepare for their home match with Morecambe.

The full-back missed out against Exeter in midweek through suspension and Laing may struggle to regain his place in the team after John Sheridan's side kept their first clean sheet of the season in Sky Bet League Two at St James Park.

Notts boss Sheridan can also call on the likes of Vadaine Oliver, Adam Campbell, Graham Burke, Stanley Aborah and Aaron Collins should he wish to tweak things.

Alan Smith (hip) should be fit again soon while fellow midfielder Curtis Thompson could be back from his long-standing ankle problem in another two to three weeks.

Morecambe will check on the fitness of Tom Barkhuizen.

The forward scored the Shrimps' first goal in the 2-2 draw at Barnet on Tuesday night but was taken off during the second half due to a calf problem.

Defender Alex Whitmore, on loan from Burnley, will be available again having served the final game of his three-match suspension following his red card against Doncaster earlier this month.

Manager Jim Bentley must also decide whether to stick with on-loan Tranmere striker Cole Stockton, who marked his return to the side following a virus with a late equaliser to earn a point at The Hive.
