Notts County hope to welcome back duo

Notts County hope to have Alex Rodman and Jordan Richards back for the visit of Newport on Saturday.

The duo have missed the past two matches through injury, but should be available for the League Two clash.

Striker Jon Stead (ankle) will not feature, but could be back before the festive period.

Michael O'Connor (toe) could also return, while Matt Tootle, who has been battling an illness, is likely to be available for selection for manager John Sheridan.

Newport welcome back striker Josh O'Hanlon and midfielders Jack Jebb and Tom Owen-Evans, all of whom were ineligible to play in Tuesday's FA Cup replay win over Alfreton.

Winger Jack Compton was forced off on Tuesday after climbing off his sick bed to start the match and he could be given more time to recover fully.

Injured quartet Mark Randall, Jon Parkin, Marlon Jackson and Reece Grego-Cox could all be in contention after missing recent games.

But Paul Bignot is suspended, and Jamie Turley and Joss Labadie are still sidelined as bottom-placed County attempt to extend their unbeaten six-game run in all competitions.
