Team news ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet League 2 clash between Newport and Notts County
Newport manager Warren Feeney is set to give youth a chance in Saturday's final home league game of the season at Rodney Parade.
County confirmed their League Two status with last weekend's draw against Luton and Feeney looks poised to call up academy products Liam Angel, Kieran Parselle and Tom Owen-Evans.
Striker Tom Meechan can also expect a first-team chance as Newport wind up their season with games against Notts County and AFC Wimbledon.
Elsewhere, there could be a recall for defender Matt Partridge following his three-month injury absence, with Feeney thought to be considering resting Darren Jones and Andrew Hughes.
Notts County will once again be without the suspended Liam Noble after his red card last weekend.
Noble's third dismissal of the season, and his sixth in the past two campaigns, has seen the midfielder hit with a five-match ban and he will sit out the remaining two games of this season as well as the Magpies' opening three of 2016-17.
Elsewhere, strikers Jon Stead and Izale McLeod are serious doubts for the trip to south Wales and Curtis Thompson's ankle injury will keep him out.
Stead missed the defeat to Cambridge after suffering concussion against Barnet and he will have to prove his fitness. McLeod is also struggling, having had an upset stomach which also forced him to miss last weekend's game against Shaun Derry's team.
