Notts County vs Yeovil Town preview - Return of the Mac for Magpies

Stephen McLaughlin will return to the Notts County squad for the visit of Yeovil to Meadow Lane.

The winger, on loan from city rivals Nottingham Forest, was refused permission by his parent club to play in the FA Cup and therefore missed the first-round replay defeat at Accrington on Tuesday night.

Defender Mustapha Dumbuya and midfielder Michael Petrasso have been away on international duty with Sierra Leone and Canada respectively but should be back in time to be involved at the weekend.

However, Louis Laing, Hayden Mullins, Alan Smith, Zeli Ismail and Jimmy Spencer remain sidelined through injury.

Yeovil left-back Liam Davis is struggling to be fit to tackle the Magpies.

Davis picked up an injury in last weekend's 1-0 loss against Fleetwood and is facing a race against time to declare his fitness with Nathan Smith on standby to return to the starting line-up.

Fellow full-backs Brendan Moloney and Nathan Ralph are unlikely to return from injury for another two weeks while striker Kieffer Moore's troubled hamstring rules him out again.

The Glovers will hope Joel Grant is available to feature having flown back from Jamaica in the build-up to kick-off after international duty.
