Chesterfield goalkeeper Carl Muggleton and Spireites striker Mark DeBolla are both going under the surgeons knife this weekend. 

On the advice of a specialist they are having cartilage operations this Saturday on their troublesome knees, which will ensure they miss the remaining four games of the season.
