Duo still missing for Silkmen

Macclesfield boss Gary Simpson is still without Ricky Sappleton and Paul Morgan for the home clash with npower League Two rivals Shrewsbury. Striker Sappleton remains sidelined with a knee problem and defender Morgan will be forced to wait three weeks before his wrist is strong enough to return to action. However, midfielder Hamza Bencherif came through 90 minutes against Leicester in midweek with no problems and Ross Draper was on the bench and is back in full training after injury. Midfielder John Rooney has joined Major League Soccer outfit Seattle Sounders on trial. The 19-year-old, who trained with Huddersfield during the summer with a view to a move that never materialised, will spend one week with the American club.
