Luke Williams was on hand to provide an injury update on the walking wounded at Notts County, with four players missing from their 4-0 win over Southend on Tuesday evening.
The Magpies boss made three changes from the win over Yeovil at the weekend, with some of those alterations enforced, it was revealed after full-time.
Cedwyn Scott, Richard Brindley, Aaron Nemane, and Frank Vincent all missed the tie at Meadow Lane, with the Notts boss on hand to detail the reasoning behind their absences.

"Cedwyn trained this morning but the injury is still delicate so he can't really risk contact that is settling down rapidly, and we think he will be with us very soon.
"Richard Brindley had a consultation because of an ongoing issue, but we expect him to be able to be back in the fold in the near future.
"Aaron was precautionary because the volume of running he did at Yeovil was exceptional and then he felt some discomfort, so we had to be careful.
"We had a real shame with Vinny because he trod on something and it went in his toe and got infected.
"We cleared the infection but the toe now has an open wound, so we need time for that to settle but that can settle down relatively quickly, and he will be back with us in a week, maybe."
Despite Notts being down to almost the bare bones, his side put on arguably their most complete performance of the season, brushing aside Kevin Maher's side who had won their previous four games in the league.
Two goals from Macaulay Langstaff and Sam Austin ensured the Magpies remained five points clear at the National League summit, extending their winning run to seven matches and their unbeaten run to 25 league games.
When asked to pinpoint the most impressive factor of the win, Williams insisted that there were too many good things to analyse just one standout feature.
"It's hard to pinpoint because of the variety of the game, there were so many things that the boys did well and that is what impressed me the most.
"They were able to play short, play long, and able to withstand long build-up from Southend, counter-attacks, we did so many things and the concentration and work rate combined was brilliant."
