Matthew Russell and David Birmingham are in contention for a place in the Bognor squad for the trip to Newport County.

Both players have recovered from knee injuries quicker than expected, but the pair may have to settle for a place on the bench as manager Jack Pearce keeps faith with the side who have won their last three games.

Pearce said: "It's good to have them back as we have been very short on numbers but they both lack a bit of match fitness so might not be ready to start."

Victory at Newport will put the Rocks top if leaders Basingstoke lose and Grays fail to win.

Pearce said: "We're having a good run at the moment but it is another tough game tomorrow. It would be nice to go top but there is a long way to go yet."
