Kevin Nolan: 'Shaun Brisley could be in contention for Morecambe clash'

Kevin Nolan has revealed that Shaun Brisley looks more likely than not to play a part in Notts County's League Two home encounter with Morecambe this weekend.

The defender was taken off late in the Magpies' 1-0 win over Port Vale last week after receiving a blow to the head.

However, when asked about injury worries ahead of the Meadow Lane fixture this Saturday, Nolan provided a positive update about Brisley.

“We have no injury worries,” he told the Nottingham Post.

“Obviously we had Bris (Brisley) who came off in the last 10 minutes or so against Port Vale.

“But he’s come through training and if there are no problems over the next 24-48 hours, we should be free to play whoever we want.

“I'm delighted there was no severe damage. We are not out of the woods yet with him and I said after the game last week that we will look after his welfare.

“We'll make sure he's alright. His health and livelihood comes well before anything else.

“Fingers crossed he will be okay. He's come through a couple of training sessions, but you don’t know what could happen. There could be late concussion and/or he could get blackouts.

“But we’ll leave no stone unturned to make sure he’s okay.”
