Silkmen close in on return

Macclesfield boss Gary Simpson could be boosted by the return of midfield duo Paul Bolland and Matt Hamshaw for the trip to Chesterfield. Bolland has been sidelined with a hamstring injury and Hamshaw has been troubled by a muscle strain. They missed last weekend`s match against Accrington but physio Nick Reid said: "Both players came through a reserve match this week with no ill effects and have been in training since." Striker Emile Sinclair is nursing a tight hamstring and will be assessed but skipper Paul Morgan is out for the season with a broken arm. Simpson has no other injury or suspension concerns and the versatile Dan Gray is eligible to play despite being on loan from Chesterfield.
