Willmott set to feature as Newport face leaders MK Dons

Robbie Willmott could feature in Newport’s starting line-up against Sky Bet League Two leaders MK Dons on Saturday.

Winger Willmott returned from a hamstring injury by playing a starring role off the bench in County’s 4-0 Emirates FA Cup second round replay victory over Wrexham on Tuesday.

Manager Michael Flynn, meanwhile, will hope for positive fitness news on Andrew Crofts and Mark O’Brien in their recoveries from hamstring strains.

And Joss Labadie can expect another run following two substitute appearances as he closes in on a first start since suffering a serious knee injury in March.

An injured Jordan Moore-Taylor is set to miss out for MK Dons’ trip to Rodney Parade – he also missed last weekend’s win against Carlisle – while Chuks Aneke is also battling for full fitness after suffering a minor knock.

But there is potentially better news about two players who limped off during the Carlisle game.

Rhys Healey is on course to be fit for Saturday, and Lawson D’Ath has trained this week and is also likely to be available.

And MK Dons boss Paul Tisdale could also look at options provided by Peter Pawlett and Osman Sow, who both returned from injury against Carlisle.
