Wes Atkinson will be available for Notts County against Grimsby despite his red card in midweek.

Atkinson was sent off along with Hartlepool's Toto Nsiala in injury time towards the end of the Checkatrade Trophy tie between the two clubs on Wednesday night but the defender's suspension will be served in the next group game in that competition, rather than in League Two.

Magpies manager John Sheridan made several changes in midweek and the likes of Adam Collin, Matt Tootle, Richard Duffy, Michael O'Connor and Jon Stead will probably be recalled to the starting line up.

Teenage forward Aaron Collins can also be added to Sheridan's squad after signing on loan from Wolves.

Grimsby boss Paul Hurst could include two deadline day signings in his squad for the first time.

QPR midfielder Brandon Comley and Barnsley striker Shaun Tuton are both available after completing loan moves to Blundell Park, but Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson will not arrive until Monday after international duty with England Under-20s.

However, Hurst will once again be without Dan Jones (knee), Sean McAllister (groin) and Rhys Browne (hamstring).

He made four changes to the side which won 5-2 at home to Stevenage last weekend for the Checkatrade Trophy clash with League One Walsall in midweek with Andrew Boyce, Zak Mills, Josh Venney and Scott Vernon, but they were unable to prevent the Mariners from slipping to defeat by the same scoreline.
