Same again for Crewe against Exeter

Crewe boss David Artell looks set to have the same group of players to select from for Tuesday’s Sky Bet League Two home clash with Exeter as he did at the weekend.

The Alex came through Saturday’s 1-0 win over Colchester seemingly without any fresh injury problems cropping up.

Chris Porter, Chris Dagnall, Ryan Wintle and James Jones remain unavailable.

The victory last time out was 20th-placed Crewe’s first in seven games.

Exeter’s Liam McAlinden, Pierce Sweeney and Dan Seaborne are all expected to miss out again.

The trio sat out the 1-0 loss to Mansfield on Saturday due to injury – McAlinden and Sweeney have both been nursing groin problems.

Jordan Storey was another not involved in that game, a week on from being caught in the face in a clash with Wycombe’s Adebayo Akinfenwa, but could return to action on Tuesday.

It is thought unlikely that Luke Croll will be making his comeback from injury at Gresty Road.
