Ricardo Moniz provides updates on Stanley Aborah and Jon Stead

Ricardo Moniz still doesn't know how long it will be before Stanley Aborah will be available for selection, The midfielder limped off and was replaced during Notts 4-2 victory against Barnet. The summer signing has made 20 appearances for the Magpies, scoring one goal, and has been one of Notts more consistent players.

Stanley had another scan last week and, speaking to local media, Moniz said he was constantly being monitored and assessed.

“It's day to day with Stanley at the moment,” he said

“Obviously it was a very bad challenge which put him out of the game, but I cannot say how long he will be out for.”

“He is constantly being monitored because obviously he is an important player for us”.

“We want to make sure he is right.”

Jon Stead, who missed Notts defeat by Cambridge, is also in the treatment room recovering from a muscle tear.

Although Stead is making progress, Moniz couldn't say when the striker would be fit to return to League Two action.

“He has a good chance and that is all I can say,” he said.

“He has been working with John (Wilson) the physio.”

“We will have to wait and see how he is.”

“At the moment though a date can't be put on his return. We will have to wait and see how he is.”
