Adam Chicksen says he is suffering no after-effects from a head wound picked up against Barnsley.

The full back had to have five stitches inserted into a cut above his eye but insists it's 'part of the game' and is ready to face Macclesfield this evening.

Speaking at the club's press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup first round tie at Moss Rose, Chicksen said he is already enjoying linking up with new signing Sean Scannell in front of him.
