Kevin Nolan says Shaun Brisley is okay following knock at Port Vale

Kevin Nolan has given a positive update on Shaun Brisley after the defender suffered a blow to the head in Notts County's 1-0 win over Port Vale on Saturday.

The centre-back was knocked to the ground after the blow late on in the game and had to be taken off.

This left the Magpies to see the rest of the match out with 10 men after they had already made all three substitutions.

However, Nolan is not worried about the long-term prognosis, telling the Nottingham Post: “He’s okay, he was up and about afterwards.

“Shaun is a great lad and he wanted to stay on. He could remember everything which is always a good sign.

"But we have to make sure we look after him and the welfare of the boy.

“He’s a strong competitor and hopefully we won’t miss him for too many games. But we will do what is right by him because that’s the type of club we are.”
