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.

β€œWe have no injury worries,” he told the Nottingham Post.

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

β€œBut 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.

β€œI'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.

β€œWe'll make sure he's alright. His health and livelihood comes well before anything else.

β€œFingers 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.

β€œBut we’ll leave no stone unturned to make sure he’s okay.”
