Injury Update: Notts County's Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley set to potentially return against Woking

Luke Williams has clarified the absence of two players from his Notts County team during their loss to Wrexham on Monday. Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley did not participate in the Magpies' 3-2 defeat at The Racecourse Ground, despite featuring in the previous game against Wealdstone three days prior.

During the 3-0 victory against Stuart Maynard's team, the pair played in the back three, with Brindley making his first start for Notts in nearly three months. Brindley had been battling a recurring back injury that he sustained earlier in the season.

Baldwin suffered an injury during the Eastleigh game in March, which caused him to miss three matches before returning for the Good Friday fixture. The reasons for their absence in the match against Wrexham were not disclosed.

Ahead of Notts County's upcoming fixture against Woking, the team's head coach, Luke Williams, has provided an update on the absent defensive pairing of Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley. Both players were absent from the team's recent 3-2 defeat against Wrexham, and their absence was not explained at the time.

However, Williams has now stated that the two players are likely to feature in the upcoming game against Woking. Speaking to the Nottingham Post, Luke Williams said: "What's behind it is that both guys had not played for a while.

"They played against Wealdstone and were not recovered in time to go again in such a short turnaround.

"That was disappointing for us because we want every single player available, but fortunately it is nothing serious, it was purely the fact they hadn't recovered in time to feature."

Notts County is scheduled to compete against Woking on Saturday. Luke Williams' recent update on the defensive pairing for the upcoming game has left fans feeling hopeful for the Meadow Lane fixture this weekend.
