Mossley pre-match news
Aaron O'Connor could return for tomorrow's game against Mossley in the second qualifying round of the FA Trophy.
Having missed the last five games due to an ankle injury picked up during the Trophy first round game against Ilkeston Town, O'Connor will probably be on the bench as manager Gary Norton will not want to rush the striker back into action.Norton said: "Aaron saw the physio at Notts County on Monday who confirmed it was just a twisted ankle so he's been working hard this week and did some training last night and kicked a few balls. If there is no reaction he will make the bench for the game on Saturday."
On loan Eric Graves will not be available, as Nigel Clough would rather err on the side of caution because of an injury to one of Burton Albion's strikers.
Tony Hemmings is to see a specialist, as his knee injury could be more serious than first thought. Mansfield Town's physio checked him over and thinks it could be cartilage or even cruciate.
Skipper Andy Simpson serves his second game of his three-match ban and Paul Wardle is doubtful due to an ankle injury picked up in training.
Nathan Tate who missed the last game returns to the squad.
Gresley from: Saxby, Pemberton, Davies, Soar, Millns, G White, Tate, Lyons, Slater, Barrett, Gray, Edwards, Holmes, O'Connor, G Smith, Heer, Rowell, Williams, Wardle.
