Such has been their problems, they have had to name young academy lads and half-fit senior pros on the bench who were never going to get used.
The Spireites have a break now, with their next game not until a week today when they host Rotherham United in the EFL Trophy last 16, so they will be hoping to have more options to choose from for that one.
Let’s take a look at what we know about the current injured group and when they might return...
5. Ash Palmer
The 32-year-old was set to have returned to training last week so, all being well, he could be available for selection from now on. Photo: Jan Kruger
6. Chey Dunkley
The commanding centre-half has not played since October 5 because of a neck injury. It was hoped he would be back in the new year but he hasn't had the all-clear from the specialist yet. Could he be one of the players out of the season? Photo: Tina Jenner
7. Lewis Gordon
A contender for Chesterfield's Player of the Year up until his calf injury in the middle of December. Out for around 10 weeks from that point. Photo: Tina Jenner
8. John Fleck
The midfielder's Spireites career is yet to get going after some hamstring problems but Danny Webb has said he is back training properly now so he is another one who we could see soon. Photo: Tina Jenner
