When asked if any players had reported back to pre-season with any injuries, Spireites coach Danny Webb told the DT: “Akwasi has got a niggling nerve injury in his groin. I think he has seen a specialist and he has said it is nothing major.”
Sadly, it appears striker Rowe’s ongoing health issue is still troubling him.
Webb said: “Danny has had another check-up at the hospital. He’s got five days to rest to see if that latest procedure has worked well with him. I can’t speak too much about it because I don’t know and I don’t want to say anything that undermines Danny in any way.”

“Things may happen with him over the next few days,” Webb added.
