Sappleton missing for Macc
Macclesfield boss Gary Simpson is still without the services of striker Ricky Sappleton for the home clash with Morecambe in the Johnstone`s Paint Trophy.
Sappleton is nursing a knee injury and is around a fortnight away from a return to full training.
Midfielder Richard Butcher is out for up to a month with medial ligament damage and is also around two weeks away from a return to training.
The Silkmen have yet to win this season but Simpson believes Saturday`s 1-1 draw at home to Chesterfield marked a vast improvement on the recent 3-0 surrender at Accrington.
He said: "There's never been a problem with the team spirit in pre-season and in all of the opening games until Accrington. on Saturday the lads stuck together and worked for the team which should lead to better performances and better results."
