Lester could return; Wainwright back for Quakers
Top scorer Jack Lester could return for Chesterfield as the Spireites look to keep their play-off hopes alive against Darlington.
The 26-goal striker has missed the last four matches with the broken nose he suffered against Accrington last month.
"Jack has been back in training this week and we will decide later in the week whether he is involved or not," said manager Lee Richardson. "If he feels okay and if I think he is okay, then there is a chance he could be in the squad.
"However, we are not going to play him if he is not ready as another hefty knock could put him straight back out again."

Midfielder Neil Wainwright could earn a recall to the Darlington side for the trip to Saltergate.
Boss Dave Penney recalled Wainwright from his loan spell at Mansfield earlier this week in light of the injury crisis at the club, and the 30-year-old will be hoping to be involved in some capacity.
Penney is expected to remain without attacking trio Julian Joachim (ankle), Pawel Abbott (knee) and Greg Blundell (stomach) but was boosted by Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu's return to action in the 1-0 defeat at Hereford last weekend.
Ndumbu-Nsungu made his first appearance for nearly a month after overcoming an Achilles injury and is again expected to lead the line against the Spireites.
The Quakers go into the game bidding to end a six-game winless streak and desperate to keep up the pressure on their promotion rivals.
