Mark Stallard In Action Against Wycombe
Following a challenge on Stallard in the first half against Blackpool on Saturday, Notts' top scorer had to leave the field with a shin injury and was replaced by Danny Allsopp, just back from injury himself.

After the Blackpool victory Dearden admitted it was a case of "wait and see" on Stallard, but he was hopeful of having him back for the trip to Colchester.

"He took a knock on the bottom of his shin, which just got stiffer as he tried to run it off," Dearden told the Evening Post.

"Due to the type of injury it is a little early to say how bad it is, but we are hopeful that he won't be out for too long.

"We will have to see how he is this week."
