Kevin Nolan has suggested that Kristian Dennis could make his first Notts County start in Friday's League Two meeting with Yeovil Town.

The striker was left out of the squad for Tuesday’s EFL Cup trip to Middlesbrough to work on his fitness.

Speaking a day before the Glovers clash, Nolan is confident that Dennis' extra grafting could see him involved from the off.

β€œWe kept him back because we felt he had a real chance of starting on Friday,” Nolan told the official Notts site.

β€œHe’s been on the periphery of the first team in the opening games and we manage all of the players’ fitness carefully, so we felt if we took him on Tuesday he might not have been ready for Yeovil.

β€œWe got him to do more running earlier this week because he’s a bit behind some of the boys so by keeping him back we’ve given him more chance of starting on Friday night.”

Could this be the start of Hemmings and Dennis teaming up? Will Stead be making way considering he played against Middlesbrough? Which ever way we look at it, could spark a better things to come.Β
