Notts County vs Cheltenham Town - Kevin Nolan waiting on fitness of Thierry Audel

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan hopes Thierry Audel will be fit to give him a full squad to choose from against Cheltenham.

Audel limped off injured during the first half of the defeat at Accrington last weekend and the Frenchman will be assessed.

Fellow defender Carl Dickinson has returned to training this week and is available along with midfielder Curtis Thompson, who served a one-match ban against Stanley.

Former Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi could be in line for his home debut after joining the Magpies last week on a deal until the end of the season.

Cheltenham manager Gary Johnson must decide what shape to select his team in.

Last week's more positive side drew 1-1 at home to Newport, having most recently won 3-2 at Luton in a defensive 5-4-1 formation.

Recent signing Liam Davis made his debut last week and is expected to retain his place.

Danny Wright could be pushing for a recall after appearing against Newport as a substitute.
