New Aldershot manager Kevin Dillon will be without defender Dave Winfield for the home game against Macclesfield.

Winfield will sit out the final game of his three-match suspension as Dillon takes charge for the first time following his appointment on Monday.

Midfielder Ben Harding returned from an ankle injury as a substitute in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Bury last weekend and he comes into contention, while John Halls could also be back in the squad.

Halls has not played since sustaining a groin injury at the end of September but is back in training and could be on the bench at the weekend.

Dean Howell remains a long-term absentee with his hip injury but could be back before the new year.

Macclesfield boss Keith Alexander is boosted by the return of defender Carl Tremarco.

Tremarco served a one-match ban during last weekend's FA Cup first-round defeat to MK Dons.

However, he now comes back into contention and the enforced break also allowed him to shake off the lingering effects of a groin strain.

In a further boost, midfield duo Izak Reid and Paul Bolland are fully fit after illness.

Utility-man Nat Brown played 90 minutes for the reserves in midweek without suffering any adverse reaction and he will also come into contention.

Striker Ricky Sappleton also featured for the second string but sustained an ankle knock which may keep him on the sidelines.
