Squad Update
Dave McNabb has offered a status update on the players currently on the injured list at Gigg Lane below ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup tie with Garforth Town.
Macauley Wilson – Macauley limped out of Monday’s match with Cheadle Town late on with a knee injury. It’s still too early to assess how severe the injury is at the moment due to the swelling but we’re hopeful it will only be a week or two.
Ben Hockenhull – Ben has a very minor knock to his knee that kept him out last weekend and he returned to full training this week. He is however cup-tied for the FA Cup, so will be unavailable on Saturday.
Brad Carroll – Brad continues his recovery and is working through the early stages of his rehabilitation with the medical team.
Sam Coughlan – Sam missed Monday’s match with Cheadle Town with a small knock. He has returned to training this week and is available for selection at the weekend.
Morgan Homson Smith – Morgan continues to struggle with an ankle injury picked up during pre-season. He has taken the opportunity to take an extended break in Dubai with his family whilst he recovers from the injury with the medical team working with him remotely on his rehabilitation.
Jack Dunn – Unfortunately, Jack has had another small setback with a minor hamstring strain. He has been working so hard to get back available for selection and has been very unlucky with further injuries. This is to be expected as he returns following a very serious knee injury that kept him out for over 18 months.
Andy Briggs – Andy had a very minor operation on his left leg last week, but has returned to training this week and is available for selection at the weekend.
Our match preview of this weekend’s game is available here. The club’s supporters coach to Garforth Town has sold out with tickets available direct from our hosts here.

Bury currently sit in 5th place, five points behind league leaders Ramsbottom, but we have played two fewer games than our neighbours.
In Opposition – Garforth Town
Garforth Town are unbeaten so far this season, having won four from their opening seven games, drawing the other three.

Women’s Match Preview: Fleetwood Town Wrens (H) Wed 28th Aug 7:45pm kick-off
Our women’s first team hosts Fleetwood Town Wrens following a successful first home game at Gigg Lane, with the Shakers looking to build on the strength they delivered over the bank holiday weekend.
Fleetwood Town Wrens finished eighth in the table last season, just one place above Bury.
