Last updated : 18 August 2005 By Luke Thornhill
Chesterfield did not train on Wednesday due to an outbreak of mumps at the club and have moved Thursday¹s training session to a location in Sheffield.

Four of the club¹s apprentices were diagnosed with the disease on Tuesday and, with a visit to Oldham awaiting Roy McFarland¹s side on Saturday, the
Spireites boss had no professionals at the training ground on Wednesday.

A club spokesperson confirmed that no other apprentices or squad members have caught the disease, but that Thursday will see the squad return to training in Sheffield.
