Martin Gritton makes a welcome return to the squad that will travel to Gigg Lane on Saturday having missed most of the last two months through injury. The striker, who has nine goals to his name, had to limp out of Lincoln City game at the Moss Rose in early February. His return to action was short lived, having to come off at half time in our derby day defeat at Stockport. But having had time to recover, the front man has enjoyed a full week's training and hopes to feature at some stage on Saturday.

On the flip side Keith Alexander will by missing the services of Jamie Tolley. The midfielder who has been in fine form of late, scoring two goals in our matches against Shrewsbury and Wrexham, picked up a hip injury in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Mansfield. It is expected to be another week or so before he resumes training.
