Notts County to check on Richard Duffy ahead of Crawley clash

Notts County will check on Richard Duffy and Matt Tootle ahead of the visit of Crawley.

Skipper Duffy and fellow defender Tootle were both sidelined through injury as County’s unbeaten home record was ended by Exeter on Saturday.

January arrivals Liam Noble, Matty Virtue and Noor Husin will be hoping to keep their places in the starting line-up.

Shola Ameobi is pushing for a start after two substitute appearances since returning from injury.

Crawley welcome back midfielder Josh Payne from suspension.

The former West Ham trainee has completed a three-match ban after he was sent off against Stevenage last month.

Dannie Bulman will be assessed after he missed Friday night’s 2-1 defeat at Newport with a knee problem.

Fellow midfielder Mark Randall also sat out through injury and could return.
