Chesterfield team news ahead of Altrincham clash

The striker is also likely to be out for Saturday’s clash against Notts County.

Midfielder Liam Mandeville is back training after self-isolating.

Defender Josef Yarney is available for selection after completing his three-match ban.

Altrincham are third bottom of the National League but have the same amount of points (six) as the Spireites.

The Robins have only won one game so far this season and are yet to taste victory on home soil.

“Altrincham last season were arguably, in the National League North, I think were the best footballing team in the division,” Blues boss John Pemberton said.

“They have found it difficult to adapt to the level, which some people do, but they play a certain way and they have an identity how they play and if you don’t defend properly they will cause you problems.

“Like us, their confidence is probably a little bit low at the moment regards of their results, but I am sure they will be looking at this game thinking we might be a possibility that they could turn their season around so they are all problem games unless we attack it in the right manner.”
