Fuchs 'not worried at all' about injuries
- Published
Newport boss Christian Fuchs insists injuries are not a concern after defender Lee Jenkins came off with a shoulder problem in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against League Two leaders Bromley.
The extent of the injury is still unknown, with Fuchs saying Jenkins "is still being assessed".
"It's a shoulder injury," Fuchs added. "He was still able to continue but eventually the pain got too much for him."
County are still without joint top goalscorer Michael Spellman after the midfielder was forced off against Barnet earlier this month.
Spellman has made 33 appearances for the Exiles this season, scoring five goals, and Fuchs is confident he will make a return before the end of the season.
"I expect to have him back this season," said Fuchs.
"He's been a great player, he's been building confidence the last few years."
Despite the injury setbacks, the County manager believes there is enough depth in the squad and praised Ben Lloyd's efforts stepping in for Spellman.
"Ben [Lloyd] comes on and slots in perfectly, so I'm not worried at all," Fuchs added.
"That was a big part of our recruitment in the winter as well, to fill those spots, to have a good depth. Everybody that comes in has given it their all."
