Chesterfield have replacements for injured winger on their 'radar'
and live on Freeview channel 276
The 29-year-old is going to be out for at least two or three weeks, if not more, with an ankle injury that he suffered against Gateshead.
The wideman has made 13 goal contributions this season so his absence is a big disappointment.

“I know the supporters like him (Berry) already because of his pace, enthusiasm and directness,” Webb told the DT. “He did great for the goal against Gateshead the other night. We have got that sort of type of player in the building if you want to go that way.”
Webb also pointed out that they also got some other strong attacking options in Liam Mandeville, Armando Dobra, Michael Jacobs and Ollie Banks.
"Ryan Colclough being out for a few weeks is a big blow, but at the moment we feel there are some great players to come in and fill his boots,” Webb said.

Webb added: "Like I said earlier in the season, we have got to be careful as coaches and staff not to bang on about what a great squad we have got and then there is a little bit of a blip with it and we want to start changing the world and bringing a load of players in. That is not to say that is not being discussed. There are certainly lads on the radar.”
