LANCASTER City enjoyed a break from league action last weekend, but are looking forward to the return of some of their injured aces.

Andy Whittaker missed his return to Bamber Bridge on Tuesday night, but city's

goalscoring ace is expected to be back in the starting line up for Saturday's clash with Hyde.

Kenny Mayers will also be fighting for a first team shirt after coming through a reserve match and sitting on the bench at Bamber Bridge.

Longer term injury worries Lee Clitheroe and Paul Sparrow are unlikely to feature for at least a couple of week.

City boss Tony Hesketh said: "Hyde, like Bamber Bridge is a match we will be expected to win, but they will be fighting because they'll want the points as much as we do."
