Vale waiting on McDonald

Port Vale will wait to see if Clayton McDonald is fit enough to play against Shrewsbury.

McDonald has been nursing a hamstring problem in recent weeks and the defender missed the goalless draw at Morecambe on Saturday. Manager Micky Adams has young defender Phil Roe, midfielders Sam Morsy, Chris Shuker and Kingsley James and striker 19 Ben Williamson available should he wish to make any changes to his starting line up. The original match between the two sides last month was abandoned with Shrewsbury leading 1-0 after a fire was discovered in the main stand at Greenhous Meadow. Ahead of the re-match, Adams told Vale's official club website: "They have seen us and we have seen them. But because of the player we had missing last time, we have learnt more about them than they would have about us. "We don't go into the game blind so I would like to think that we can cause them a few problems."
