Match Preview
Duo back for Silkmen Macclesfield manager Gary Simpson is boosted by the return of strike duo Ricky Sappleton and Emile Sinclair for the home clash with Lincoln. The pair were sent off along with Wycombe's Dave Winfield during the stormy League Two encounter at Moss Rose, but have now completed three-match bans. Striker Vinny Mukendi may return after spell on the sidelines with a knee injury but Simon Yeo remains sidelined with a similar complaint. The Silkmen are in buoyant mood after Saturday`s 1-0 win at Northampton eased their relegation fears, yet Simpson is not getting complacent. "We're not safe yet," he said. "We go into Tuesday's match against Lincoln with three more points to play for and the players' confidence boosted by another good win." Lincoln will have an unchanged squad for the trip. The Imps incurred no fresh injury problems as boss Steve Tilson enjoyed victory against his former club Southend at Sincil Bank on Saturday. Tilson has options should he wish to make changes with Paul Green, Pat Kanyuka, Jamie Clapham and Cian Hughton all pushing for starting berths. Midfielders Gavin McCallum and Ali Fuseini as well as striker Scott Spencer, meanwhile, are also available for recalls. Luke Howell (hamstring) and Clark Keltie are close to returning. The former has resumed training after four months out with a thigh injury but lacks match fitness. However, on-loan full-back Gavin Hoyte has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury sustained against Chesterfield last month.

Match Report
Last-gasp Wedgbury rescues Macclesfield Macclesfield midfielder Sam Wedgbury scored his first goal of the season to rescue a precious point deep in stoppage time in a 1-1 draw with 10-man Lincoln. The Imps took the lead in the 19th minute when Stephen Hunt curled a speculative 22-yard drive over the fingertips of Town goalkeeper Jose Veiga and in off the crossbar. Macclesfield then dominated proceedings, but found in Lincoln goalkeeper Trevor Carson an immoveable object. In the 61st minute Carson brilliantly clawed wide a Hanza Bencherif drive before seeing Tyrone Barnett flick inches wide. Barnett then had a close range header cleared off the goalline by Julian Kelly. Lincoln's Ben Hutchinson was sent off in the 64th minute for his second bookable offence when he petulantly kicked the ball away after he had been shown a yellow card for a first-half foul. Macclesfield got little change out of a tight Lincoln back four, but in the second minute of stoppage time Wedgbury drilled a 22-yard volley through a crowd of players and into the far corner.
