QUESTION marks hang over two key Macclesfield players who are due travel down today for the game at Torquay.

Top scorer Matthew Tipton is to have a fitness test on the pitch while Matthew Carragher is hoping he will have made a full recovery after having five stitches removed from his left eyelid in midweek.

Both trialists sent up by David O'Leary from Aston Villa, Welsh midfield man Matthew Brough and English defender Jonathan Bewers will also make the trip, for experience even if they are not likely to play.

Former Norwich man David Smith, the elegant midfield maestro who has been sidelined by injury this season, is now back in training but again may not be ready to act as a replacement for Tommy Widdrington who is still recovering from a back injury.

In five visits to the south Devon coast, Macc have only taken four points and, with Torquay in eighth spot after beating Lincoln City 3-1 at the weekend, they will do well to shoot down the Gulls.

Top scorer David Graham is the man to watch, a naturally gifted ball player with a turn of speed and a dozen goals to his credit already this campaign.
