Duo missing for Macc

27 September 2010 18:00
Macclesfield manager Gary Simpson will be without Ricky Sappleton and Richard Butcher for the away match against Crewe. Sappleton remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from a long-standing knee injury, while the game comes too soon for Butcher who is close to a return following a similar problem. Midfielder Lewis Chalmers started only his second game for the Silkmen following his summer move in the 3-1 win over Torquay on Saturday and is expected to retain his place as Paul Bolland continues to struggle with a groin problem. Striker Vinny Mukendi made his return as a second-half substitute against the Gulls following a knee injury and he will be pushing for a starting place along with defender Sam Wedgbury who also came off the bench at the weekend.
