Nicky Adams and David Buchanan will shortly leave Gigg Lane bound for International duty with Wales U21's and Northern Ireland U21's respectively.

David Buchanan is becoming something of an old hand for the Northern Irish and he will fly off to Israel with the squad for the European Championship qualifier on 6 February.

Meanwhile Nicky Adams heads off to the other side of the Mediterranean to Malta for the Welsh U21 UEFA Group 10 match against Malta Under-21 at Hibernians FC.

Both players will be unavailable for the Shakers for their re-arranged clash with Stockport County on 05 February.
