Chesterfield injury update ahead of Dover Athletic clash

The stopper was substituted at half-time in the win at Victory Park on Saturday with a knock and was replaced by debutant Ross Fitzsimons.

On Jalal Pemberton said today: “He is alright, he trained this morning. We will train again tomorrow before we leave to go down to Dover. We will assess everyone but he was fine today.”

Young midfielder Regan Hutchinson made his debut against Harrogate but missed the following match against Chorley due to sickness.

“He is back,” Pemberton said. “He has trained with us the last couple of days. It is good to have him back.”

But Pemberton confirmed that “one or two” have been suffering illness this week but are not coronavirus-related and he did not want to say who.

“Funnily enough we have had a couple of illnesses so we will have a head count tomorrow to see how we are but other than that we are alright,” Pemberton added. “We have just had one or two who have been under the weather.

“I would rather not say (who they are). I would rather leave it and see where we are. You don’t want to show your hand.”
