Duo miss out

10 September 2010 12:30
Port Vale are again without Lewis Haldane and Doug Loft as they look to build on their impressive start to the season when Aldershot come to town. Haldane hopes to return to full training in around three weeks as he continues his three-month recovery from the insect bite which left him in hospital and led to him losing three stone in weight. Fellow midfielder Loft also remains on the sidelines nursing the cracked rib and collapsed lung sustained in August`s 1-1 draw at home to Chesterfield. He resumed light training on Thursday and is looking to return into contention within the next two weeks. Vale, who have lost just one of their opening five league games, are looking to record a third successive victory after last weekend`s impressive 2-0 win at Bradford.
