Vale ‘keeper Chris Neal plays in his first game this afternoon as Vale Reserves take on Burton Albion

Goalkeeper Chris Neal makes his long awaited comeback this afternoon here at Vale Park – kick off 2.00pm - when Vale’s second string take on their Burton Albion counterparts in the Final Third Development League.

Neal has been out of action with an ankle injury since falling awkwardly in a pre-season friendly against Notts County back in July and has been slowly working his way back to fitness in recent weeks since the plaster came off.
