Notts County travel to Chesterfield on Saturday afternoon with doubts over the fitness of defenders Michael Johnson and Lee Canoville.On-loan Derby centre-back Johnson is struggling with an ankle injury and may be rested as the Magpies have secured their Football League status.

Canoville lasted just 28 minutes in last Saturday's 1-0 victory over Wycombe, which saw them move five points clear of the drop.

Manager Ian McParland is expected to rest Stephen Hunt after the defender played in the crucial clash last weekend despite struggling with a pelvic problem.

The game is likely to come too soon for goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington, who has returned to training following a fractured leg, leaving Stoke loanee Russell Hoult to continue between the sticks.

Midfielder Gavin Strachan will remain out due to a knee injury as the Magpies look to record a third away win of the season.
