Crewe Team News Vs Ipswich

Last updated : 16 January 2004 By Site Staff
Justin Cochrane faces the next two or three weeks out after pulling a hamstring last weekend. The 22 year old, who yesterday signed a new contract, will be replaced by the more experienced Neil Sorvel. Sorvel has recently returned from a calf injury but has trained well this week.

Richard Walker and Adie Moses has also trained well after being ruled out since November. Either one of the two centre backs could make the bench, with both travelling to Norwich. Strikers Steve Jones and Dean Ashton, who've notched up 24 goals between them this season, both picked up and recovered from knocks this week and both set to play.

David Brammer is still out till February with his groin injury and Vaughan is also out till the end of this month, with a knee injury. Luke Varney is out till mid-April with his dislocated shoulder operation and striker Allan Smart is out for another couple of weeks. Chris McCready is also out for atleast 2 weeks with a thigh injury.

McCready, Smart and Cochrane have a outside chance of making the next match, when Millwall visit. Crewe face a empty weekend after this weekend after being knocked out of the FA Cup.

The most likely squad for Saturday:

Ince

B.Jones - Foster - Wright - Tonkin

Lunt - Sorvel - Higdon - Rix

Ashton - S.Jones
