Team News
Newport
Milton Keynes Dons
- Michael Flynn has had positive news on the injury front this week.
- Ball-winner Andrew Crofts made the bench last time out, while highly-rated defender Fraser Franks expects to be back in contention for this match.
- Flynn hinted that January recruits Adebayo Azeez and Harry McKirdy, who have had niggles recently, might be used in this game; that would help preserve the fitness of Padraig Amond and Jamille Matt for Saturday.
- George Williams' is out for a prolonged period and Callum Brittain has a knee problem as well as tonsillitis, so Ryan Watson could continue to deputise at right wing-back.
- Jordan Moore-Taylor is MK Dons' best defender, but is a doubt for this match due to a knee problem, so Russ Martin could start in the back-three.
- Goalkeeper Lee Nicholls owes Paul Tisdale and supporters a strong performance, having not quite done himself justice at weekend.
