Johnson returns for County clash

Johnson: Set for Bees comeback

The left-back has missed the last three games with a groin strain but should be available at Meadow Lane.

Ryan Dickson started at left-back at Luton in midweek but came off with a recurrence of his back problem, so Johnson or Sam Wood will come in.

Boss Andy Scott will recall a number of rested players from the Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Kenilworth Road so defenders John Halls, Alan Bennett and James Wilson all return.

Marcus Bean should come back into the midfield and Nathan Elder and Charlie MacDonald will resume in attack.

Young defender Karleigh Osborne has joined Eastbourne Borough on loan and midfielder Gary Smith is still out with hernia trouble.
