Chesterfield goalkeeper Barry Roche is an injury doubt for Saturday's home game against Gillingham following a freak accident at home.

The Spireites stopper has twisted an ankle after tripping down the stairs and the injury will be assessed again before the match.

Caretaker boss Lee Richardson said: "We hope it is not too serious but we won't know until later who will actually play in goal against Gillingham."

Defender Sebastien Grimaldi (right), having just recovered from flu, has jarred a knee in training so is again not in contention. 

Meanwhile, midfielder Mark Allott is the only long-term injury, he's still out with a hamstring strain.

On the plus side, defender Phil Picken has fully recovered from a twisted ankle and there is good news about striker Jamie Ward. 

There has been no adverse reaction following two hard games over last weekend, his first match action after a six week lay-off with a hamstring injury.

Striker Jamie Jackson is back in the squad after recovering from flu, and defender Alan O'Hare is also back in full training with the squad following his broken ankle earlier in the season.
