Farrend Rawson in contention for Forest Green
Posted Friday, October 05, 2018 by PA
Forest Green expect central defender Farrend Rawson to be fit for the visit of Newport.
Rawson was forced off in the closing stages of Tuesday’s 3-1 win at Cambridge after suffering a nasty cut on his Achilles.
Liam Shepherd should also recover from some bruising to start and Rovers have no new injury problems to report.
Rovers remain unbeaten in Sky Bet League Two this season but are two positions and four points adrift of third-placed Newport.
County are without the ineligible Charlie Cooper as manager Mike Flynn aims to avoid the manager of the month curse after winning the September award.
Cooper, son of Forest Green boss Mark, can not play against his parent club under the terms of his season-long deal.
Robbie Willmott could be a direct replacement for Cooper in midfield as he returns from suspension, but defender Mark O’Brien still out with a hamstring injury.
Matty Dolan hopes to overcome a knee problem, but it will probably be too soon for Andrew Crofts (Achilles).
