If  the Macrium boot CD can recognize a Player hard disk you may be able to  create a new virtual machine in player and use the boot CD to restore  directly.

The  Linux CD/ISO Image does recognize VMware SCSI Disks and can be used to  restore an image to a Virtual Machine.  The program can also create a  customizable BartPE CD/ISO Image as well.  So I see no reason why this  product cannot be used to restore images to a Virtual Machine.
