Crawley Town vs Yeovil Town preview - Simpson set to return

Posted Friday, September 26, 2014 by PA

Crawley skipper Josh Simpson is set to return for the visit of Yeovil.

The midfielder is finally fit having been sidelined since he injured his ankle on the opening day of the season against Barnsley.

Right-back Lanre Oyebanjo is also expected to be available after three weeks out with a thigh problem and midfielder Keith Keane returns having missed out against Preston last weekend as he is on loan from Deepdale.

But left-back Ryan Dickson faces up to six weeks on the sidelines due to a knee injury.

Yeovil's trip looks to have come just too soon for three of Gary Johnson's injured players.

Brendan Moloney, Calvin Brooks and James Berrett could all be involved in a friendly next week as they edge closer to first-team returns but they look highly unlikely to be involved as the Glovers aim to build on last weekend's 1-0 win over Peterborough.

Striker James Hayter and midfielder Simon Gillett are further away from boosting Yeovil's numbers and will remain in Somerset.

Winger Joel Grant looks set to keep his place after striking the winning goal in just his second start of the campaign last Saturday.
