Giles Coke in line for Chesterfield debut against Cambridge

Posted Tuesday, February 13, 2018 by PA

Giles Coke could be in the Chesterfield squad for the first time when Cambridge visit the Proact Stadium on Tuesday night.

The recent signing has been working on his fitness and might have been involved against Morecambe had that game not been postponed.

Blues boss Jack Lester admitted that no match on Saturday might have been a blessing in disguise, with his options a little stretched due to illness and players nursing minor niggles.

Bradley Barry is fit again and Andy Kellett and Drew Talbot are nearing a return. Sid Nelson remains out as the club await the results of a knee scan.

Joe Dunne will take charge of Cambridge after Shaun Derry left his position as manager following the goalless draw with Lincoln on Friday night.

It remains to be seen whether Dunne will make any changes to the starting line-up, although the caretaker boss does have players fit again after injury.

Medy Elito has recovered from a virus while fellow midfielder David Amoo made his return as a second-half substitute against Lincoln.

Winger Piero Mingoia (groin) has been training and could be involved against the Spireites but Jabo Ibehre (concussion) looks set to remain out.
