AS WELL as a host of new faces, Newport County AFC manager Graham Westley will welcome back captain Scot Bennett and midfielder Ben Tozer from injury this weekend.
Both were forced off after taking blows to the head in the New Year’s Eve defeat to Exeter City and missed Monday’s loss at Wycombe Wanderers.
But both should be back to take on Stevenage at Broadhall Way.
“Benno took a knock to his nose but he’s in good spirits and I’d be very surprised if he’s not available,” said Westley.
“He might be looking like the Phantom of the Opera but he’ll be available and I don’t see any problem playing with a broken nose.
“It’s not a big deal and it’s certainly manageable in the modern game.
“Toze was out after the ball flicked his face and jolted his neck [against Exeter].
“He’s had a stiff neck but it was nothing serious and he’s back in training.”
Josh Sheehan should also be fit to play but Sean Rigg is out with a hamstring problem.
