Macc quintet still struggling ahead of Millers visit

02 January 2011 12:30
Macclesfield's home encounter with Rotherham may have come too early for a clutch of Town players. Manager Gary Simpson was without injured defensive duo Carl Tremarco and Shaun Brisley (both hip) for the weekend draw at Bury and they are unlikely to feature against the Millers. Striker Ricky Sappleton is still lacking match fitness and another slot on the bench could be in line for the 21-year-old. Richard Butcher completed 90 minutes and scored on his return to the Silkmen team on Saturday but Emile Sinclair is still classed as a doubt. The same applies for Vinny Mukendi, who missed out on the squad at Gigg Lane and is set to be disappointed again. That limits Simpson's attacking options as Town search for a first league win in five.
