Swindon vs Notts County preview - Thompson out for Robins

Swindon look set to be without Louis Thompson for a few weeks after he returned to Norwich for treatment.

The midfielder suffered suspected shoulder ligament damage last weekend against Crewe and has returned to his parent club while he awaits a specialist's opinion on the injury.

Nathan Byrne is expected to recover from a dead leg sustained in the midweek defeat to Gillingham and has been forced to miss training as he attempts to recover in time to face the Magpies.

Ben Gladwin should be fit after a slight neck problem, while Jack Stephens and Anton Rodgers could return after suspension and a wrist injury respectively.

Notts County have no new problems as they look to notch back-to-back league wins for the first time since October.

On-loan Barnsley striker Leroy Lita could be handed his full debut after making his first appearance for the club as a second-half substitute during the victory at Colchester in midweek.

Magpies manager Shaun Derry also has the likes of Alan Smith, Will Hayhurst, Nicky Wroe, Sean Newton and Balint Bajner to call on should he wish to make any changes to his starting line-up.

Ronan Murray has been out for over a month with an injury sustained in training and the striker will now miss the remainder of the season with the problem.
