Silkmen without injured duo

27 August 2010 14:30
Macclesfield boss Gary Simpson is still without the services of striker Ricky Sappleton for the home clash with Chesterfield. 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. However, Hamza Bencherif, Paul Morgan and Ross Draper have all played in the last week and are available again. The Silkmen have collected a solitary point from their opening three matches and lost 3-0 at Accrington last weekend. Vice-chairman Andy Scott said: "We've seen enough from this group of players in other games to be confident that the Accrington match was the exception rather than the rule."
