Hide AdMaxwell hasn't featured since fracturing his metatarsal on the opening day of the season against Accrington. Westbrooke has been out for a month after sustaining a thigh injury. Both men managed 75 minutes against the Iron, with Ephraim Yeboah's first half effort cancelled out by a late equaliser by Scunthorpe.
Tom Anderson was another who got a run-out as he continues to sit on the sidelines after being sent off against Chesterfield last month. He was initially handed a three-match ban and this weekend's clash against Crewe is poised to be the last of those games that he misses, although there is still uncertainty over whether it'll be extended further after the centre-half was hit with further charges.
Speaking last Friday, McCann said: "We're waiting on news about Tom Anderson. He's accepted the charge so we're just waiting to see what the outcome is."
