Liam’s predicted line-up
I’m predicting just the one change for Chesterfield today with Jamie Grimes coming in for the injured Gavin Gunning.
I suspect Jim Kellermann will be okay to start despite going off in midweek with a tight hamstring. If not then Jak McCourt should get the nod.
Danny Rowe missed out on Tuesday due to illness so I’ll take a punt and say he will return but only on the bench.
3-4-1-2: Loach; Kerr, Grimes, Maguire; King. Oyeleke, Kellermann, Miller; Mandeville; Payne, Tshimanga. Subs: Whittle, McCourt, Khan, Rowe, Tyson.
Early team news
Captain Gavin Gunning will definitely not be involved today.
Boss James Rowe said: “Gavin has fractured his nose; he’s fractured his eye socket and he’s got a laceration on his face. We’re waiting to see if he needs an operation or not.
“Hopefully he doesn’t need surgery because of the position of the fracture. He’s not available tomorrow.”
Midfielder Jim Kellermann went off in the second-half of the midweek win against Eastleigh with a tight hamstring so he will be assessed.
Sadou Khan got 20 minutes under his belt on Tuesday so he could feature against his former club.
We will have the official team news confirmed around 2pm.
