Macclesfield boss Keith Alexander again looks set to be without Paul Morgan and Ross Draper for the visit of his former club Lincoln.
Defender Morgan and midfielder Draper missed last weekend's 1-0 win at Darlington and Tuesday's 4-2 defeat at Carlisle in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The pair are nursing various knocks and niggles and look certain to remain absent, while Ben Wright, Carl Tremarco and Lee Bell all missed the midweek defeat at Brunton Park because of injury.
Wright is nursing a back problem, Tremarco has a groin strain and Bell picked up a knock at Darlington.
The trio will be assessed but striker Kyle Wilson (groin) and defender Shaun Hessey (knee) look certain to remain sidelined.
Lincoln manager Chris Sutton is set to hand two players their debuts.
Sutton swooped to sign Anthony Pulis on a one-month loan deal from Southampton earlier this week and the midfielder is expected to go straight into the Imps' squad.
Pulis, son of Stoke boss Tony, became Sutton's second new signing since he was appointed last week following the arrival of Fulham defender Adam Watts.
However, Pulis may have to settle for a place on the substitutes bench after Lincoln's 1-0 win against Aldershot on Saturday.
Another poised for his debut is assistant manager Ian Pearce who has agreed a playing contract and he may deputise for centre-half Janos Kovacs, who is suspended after collecting five bookings.
Sutton has injury concerns over defender's Paul Green (hip), Joe Heath (hernia) and striker Paul Connor (knee).
Macclesfield Town 0 - 1 Lincoln City
