Macclesfld v Accrington preview

Team news ahead of Saturday's League Two clash between Macclesfield and Accrington at Moss Rose.

Lewis Chalmers is out of Macclesfield's game at home to Accrington. The midfielder suffered a groin injury in training this week and could face a prolonged spell on the sidelines. Midfielder Scott Kay will also miss the match as he continues to recover from a thigh problem and Adam Roberts is doubtful with a sore ankle. Paul Morgan and Waide Fairhurst came through a midweek reserve game unscathed and may feature for the Silkmen. Tony Diagne is back in training following his hamstring injury and could well return after missing last week's FA Cup win at East Thurrock. Striker Vinny Mukendi is out again as he serves the second game of a three-match ban after his red card at Burton, as is Ben Tomlinson, who has a fractured foot. Colin Daniel should play despite a hamstring scare in the week. Accrington captain Andy Procter is available for the trip after his one-match suspension was overturned. Procter was sent off in the heavy FA Cup defeat to Notts County last week but Stanley have successfully appealed the ban meaning the midfielder is now able to feature at the Moss Rose. On-loan defender Kevin Long is back in contention after being ineligible for last week's cup match, and Will Hatfield will also be available after Stanley extended the 20-year-old's loan spell from Leeds. Goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin returned to training this week and is almost certain to return after suffering from a cut knee. Kurtis Guthrie (back) and Alan Burton (hip) are both injured and boss John Coleman will also be without Peter Murphy who serves the second game of a three-match ban following his dismissal against Bristol Rovers. Midfielder Ian Craney is a long-term absentee with a broken leg.
