Cheltenham vs Newport preview
Last Updated: 23/11/18 12:27pm

Cheltenham boss Michael Duff hopes to have defender Johnny Mullins available for the home clash with Newport.
Mullins has not featured since he was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken nose in the FA Cup draw at Ebbsfleet earlier this month but he is expected to be involved. Midfielder Jacob Maddox has an outside chance of making the squad as he looks to overcome an ankle knock.
Alex Addai impressed as a substitute in the replay win over the Fleet in midweek - scoring a second goal at the death - and he is pushing for a starting spot.
Skipper Andrew Crofts is expected to make a welcome return to the Newport squad for the game. Midfielder Crofts has managed just three appearances since joining the Exiles after an infected blister led to an Achilles problem.
Forward Robbie Willmott could be back in action on Tuesday following a hamstring problem sustained in the win against Colchester. Joss Labadie and Tyler Forbes are closing in on returns but defender Scot Bennett is a long-term absentee with a hamstring issue. Keanu Marsh-Brown's thigh strain will be assessed.
