ALFRETON Town manager Nicky Law is hopeful of boosting his injury-hit squad with at least one loan signing ahead of two big Blue Square Bet Premier Division games for the Reds in four days.
Law will be looking for his side to extend their unbeaten league run to six games when they head to relegated Macclesfield Town tomorrow, before hosting Grimsby Town next Tuesday.
Law's squad is currently slightly thin ahead of the first of those games with injuries to midfield man Anton Brown, central defender Adam Quinn and striker Paul Clayton.
It is hoped defender Josh Law will have recovered from a thigh injury.
The latest, and possibly biggest blow of all this season, is the injury to ultra-consistent central midfield man Brown, who exited last Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Braintree Town after just eight minutes after feeling his calf pop.
The injury is likely to keep him out for a minimum of three weeks.
"The loss of Anton was a huge blow," said Law. "With the amount of injuries we have, we are now working hard trying to bring in at least one reinforcement."
Alfreton's postponed game at Hyde has been rearranged for Tuesday, October 30.
