Luke Williams has explained conversations have been had with all four of his Notts County players currently out on loan this season and says he will make a decision on their futures in the coming weeks.
The Magpies have Frank Vincent, Joel Taylor, Luther Munakandafa, and Tiernan Brooks all playing their football away from Meadow Lane, with each of their loan agreements ending in January.
It comes at a pivotal point in the National League campaign as the hectic Christmas fixture list gets under way.

Notts currently have the smallest squad in the league, with 19 first-team players available to Williams on a matchday, with many concerned about the strength in depth at the Magpies boss' disposal.
Both Vincent and Munakandafa have benefitted from regular game time with Aldershot and Basford United respectively and could be options to consider when they both return to Meadow Lane in January.
However, Williams revealed that conversations have been had between each of his players out on loan and insisted a decision on their involvement in the second part of the season rests on a number of factors from now, until the start of January.
"Yes, there has been contact already, but we will probably make a more accurate decision on those guys closer to the time.
"There will be a number of factors that will make a huge difference, one way or another.
"We are watching those guys and have an idea what they are doing, and we will make a decision on their futures closer to the time."
