KRYSTIAN Pearce is set to start for Notts County for the first time in over a year today.
The 23-year-old centre-back has been named in central defence for the Magpies in their League One clash at leaders Doncaster Rovers – and it is 13 months since he last played for the club.
He will start alongside Dean Leacock in the heart of the back-four, with Gary Liddle at right-back and Alan Sheehan at left-back.
Youngster Fabian Spiess has been named in goal for their last away game of the season and No.1 Bartosz Bialkowski is not in the squad at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Alan Judge will return from suspension in midfield and will play alongside Jamal Campbell-Ryce, Jeff Hughes and Joss Labadie, while Tyrell Waite will partner Yoann Arquin in attack.
NOTTS: Spiess, Liddle, Pearce, Leacock, Sheehan, Campbell-Ryce, Labadie, Hughes, Judge, Waite, Arquin. Subs: Pilkington, Smith, Hollis, Bencherif, Thompson, Zoko, Nangle.
