Macc pair to sit out Vale clash
Midfielder Brown and club captain Hessey are nursing shin and knee injuries respectively and have yet to feature this season.
They will remain sidelined as the Silkmen aim to find a response to Saturday's 4-0 thumping at home to big-spending Notts County.
Striker Emile Sinclair has recovered from a dead leg and defender Stephen Reed is also edging closer to full fitness after playing no part so far this season.
Alexander is considering making changes to his side, saying: "Port Vale will be big and strong. We'll have to see if there will be any changes but I'm certainly not ruling it out."
