Chester short of players

Chester may be unable to bring a full squad of sixteen players to Edgar Street tomorrow, according to the Chester Chronicle.

Manager Mark Wright said: "The Conference have allowed Hereford to sign goalkeeper Chris McKenzie from Telford but wouldn't let us sign some youngsters to play a game which has no bearing on the Conference honours. It is stupid. It doesn't make sense. I think the Conference make up their own rules. At the moment, I don't know who is going to be available."

The Chester manager has several players unavailable for the fixture and may have only two substitutes on the bench in the all-ticket game at Edgar Street.

With Kevin McIntyre suspended, Danny Collins sidelined with a leg fracture and Shaun Carey (hamstring) among those under treatment, and Daryl Clare back home in Grimsby to be with his new son who has been having breathing problems, Wright sought permission to sign two or three teenagers on the necessary forms.
