Seven players missed the draw with Sutton United in midweek either through injury, suspension or for personal reasons. Sam Hoskins and Aaron McGowan did return from injury with late cameos off the bench but neither are guaranteed to start against Newport.
Giving an update on Thursday, manager Jon Brady said: "Michael (Bolger) our physio is having to work pretty hard at the moment. We haven’t had much luck and there are a few players who will be touch and go for the weekend. Some might make it, some might not.”
Here’s a run through of the state of play with numerous players..
1. Tyler Magloire
The most long-term injured player. Was ruled out for four months with a serious hamstring injury in September so we will probably not see him again until 2023. Photo: Pete Norton
2. Josh Eppiah
Was said to be out for the 'medium term' by Brady after the recent draw at Leyton Orient so seems set for a few more weeks on the sidelines. Photo: Pete Norton
