Notts County boss Luke Williams has highlighted the contribution midfielder Jim O'Brien continues to make to the team despite being sidelined through injury.
The 35-year-old was ruled out for up to six weeks after picking up an injury in the Magpies' 1-0 win over Wrexham at the beginning of the month after making a brilliant start to the National League campaign.
It was a bitter blow for the Notts boss after resting the Scotsman in their previous fixture against Altrincham, with O'Brien on four cautions for the season and seen as an integral part of the side.
