Whelan’s opportunities have been limited following the form of Ollie Banks and Darren Oldaker and the recent loan signing of Tim Akinola from Arsenal.

Aldershot are currently third from bottom of the National League after just two wins from their first eight games.

Whelan could make his debut on Saturday in front of the BT Sport cameras against Halifax (5.20pm kick-off).

In other news, Chesterfield’s home match against Gateshead, which was postponed following the passing of the Queen, has been rearranged for Tuesday, November 1.
