Notts County are waiting to discover the extent of a knee injury to leading scorer Garry Thompson.

Thompson was forced off with the problem during the second half of the Magpies' 2-1 home defeat to Walsall on Saturday - a result which ended an 11-game unbeaten run for Shaun Derry's team. "Garry was feeling sore after the game," said Notts boss Derry. "We'll have to assess that over the next few days. "He has a problem with a knee, but the warrior that he is, I'm hoping he will be okay. "The fortunate thing for us is that we have plenty of time before the next game." That game is against Accrington in the first round of the FA Cup at the weekend. Thompson has been in impressive form since moving from out wide to a central position and his goal during the defeat to the Saddlers was his fifth of the season.
