Aborah and Stead are doubts for Notts County
Stanley Aborah and Jon Stead are injury concerns for Notts County ahead of the visit of Newport.
Aborah has a knee problem and has undergone a scan and Magpies manager Ricardo Moniz will give the midfielder as long as possible to prove his fitness.
Striker Stead is nursing a muscle injury but Moniz is hopeful he will still be involved on Saturday.
Elsewhere, winger Julian Jenner returns to the reckoning after serving a three-match suspension.
Newport's on-loan defender Scot Bennett is unable to play against his parent club ahead of his return to Meadow Lane on January 2.
Bennett has been a revelation since joining Newport in October, playing a big part in the Exiles' 10-match unbeaten run under new manager John Sheridan.
Oliver McBurnie, who scored a 23-minute hat-trick on his debut against Luton, is set to start after missing last weekend's FA Cup victory at Barnet as his parent club Swansea did not want him cup-tied.
Fellow striker Zak Ansah is likely to be on the bench when he is involved for the final time before returning to Charlton at the end of his 93-day loan spell.
