IRON TEAM NEWS

Progress is being made on the treatment table as a number of players near a return to contention following extended time on the sidelines.

Both Michael Clunan and Maxim Kouogun are expected to resume full training next week, while Alfie Beestin looks set to follow suit the week after.

Jason Law is back in full training and will be part of the travelling contingent, while Callum Roberts is back on grass running.

THE OPPOSITION

Chester are currently 16th in the table with 14 points from their 11 games so far. Their home form has been their most positive aspect of their season so far, winning four and drawing one of their six games.

A capacity restriction is in place on their stadium, resulting in a total crowd of just over 3,000. The Iron sold out their 450 tickets in just a couple of hours.

United are likely to come up against former midfielder Elliott Whitehouse who spent time at Scunthorpe last season, making a total of 19 appearances.
