Connor Kirby to return for Macclesfield against Grimsby

Connor Kirby will return for Macclesfield in the Sky Bet League Two clash with Grimsby at Moss Rose.

The on-loan Sheffield Wednesday midfielder has served a one-match suspension following his dismissal against Bradford and is available again to boss Daryl McMahon.

McMahon will check on the fitness of winger Theo Archibald, who has not played since the clash at Mansfield last month.

But McMahon has no other injury concerns.

Grimsby caretaker boss Anthony Limbrick is hoping to have Elliott Hewitt available.

The versatile defender picked up a hand injury last week and has not played since the 3-0 defeat to Swindon on December 7.

However, Jordan Cook will not be available as he struggles with a groin injury.

James Hanson is still missing and will not feature throughout the festive period.
