On Dobra, assistant manager Danny Webb said: “He is back training.

"He will definitely be available for selection tomorrow.

"We didn’t want to risk him on the astroturf down at Bromley because it is proven not to be great for hamstrings so that was always going to be a no.

"He had some training leading up to that game so he has had just over a week of training.

"Is he going to be fully match fit? No, because if you don’t play many games in a period of time you do lose that but sooner or later he needs a bit of game-time under his belt to get him back to the old Dobs we all know.”

And asked if the Spireites have any other fitness concerns for Saturday, Webb replied: "No, not as it stands. It will be a very light session this morning. If you look at the season as a whole with injuries, we have more times than not had a fully fit squad to choose from so credit to everyone involved in that and credit to the players for so fit and robust.”
