Notts set for Derby test
Last updated : 28 July 2009 By Jacob Daniel
Notts County continue their pre-season preparations tonight when they host Derby County in a friendly match at Meadow Lane. After Derby's reserves beat Matlock last night 3-2 thanks to a late winner from Alexander Prijovic, Nigel Clough brings a first choice side to Meadow Lane. However, Derby are missing a number of key players through injury, such as Shaun Barker, Lee Croft and Chris Porter, however Kris Commons could return to action for the Rams. Their 17-man squad for the match is below, which includes two former Magpies:-
Stephen Bywater
Saul Deeney
Paul Connolly
Jay McEveley
Paul Green
Miles Addison
Robbie Savage
Gary Teale
Kris Commons
Arnaud Mendy
Luke Varney
Stephen Pearson
Jake Buxton
Benjamin Pringle
Jason Beardsley
Steven Davies
Dean Moxey
The Magpies hope that Matt Hamshaw could return from the toe injury that has kept him out of the last two pre-season games, meaning there is a clean bill of health for Ian McParland, apart from Stephen Hunt who is expected to miss out. The match kicks off at 7:45pm and costs £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
