Richardson had teamed up well with Nick Fenton at the heart of defence before the suspension struck. In the games Richardson has missed Notts have leaked 9 goals, with Mansfield scoring 2, Colchester 3, and Southport hitting 4.
After a strong performance in the reserves on Wednesday against Hull, Billy Dearden will no doubt be keen to throw him back into the team and link back up with the impressive Fenton.
As on suspension ends another begins for Notts, with Darren Caskey sitting out this weekends game against The Seasiders after his red card at Southport, but he will return for Tuesdays trip to Bristol City.
