Franks remains sidelined for Newport
Posted Friday, March 01, 2019 by PA
Newport will again be without defender Fraser Franks against Carlisle at Rodney Parade.
Franks missed the Exiles’ 2-0 setback at MK Dons through illness last weekend.
But Joss Labadie has returned to training after missing the Dons defeat with a slight hamstring strain.
Labadie could replace Tyreeq Bakinson in midfield as County play at home for the first time since the FA Cup fifth-round defeat to Premier League champions Manchester City.
Carlisle midfielder Jamie Devitt completes a three-match suspension for his red card at Crewe last month.
But Blues boss Steven Pressley has no fresh injury concerns as Carlisle seek to restore play-off hopes following a four-game winless run.
Midfielder Jason Kennedy bolstered his hopes of game-time after a pelvic operation with a 60-minute run-out for the reserve team at Sunderland on Tuesday.
Defender Peter Grant played the full game at Sunderland to also increase his chances of a first-team return.
