Zola returned in Crewe's 1-1 draw at Torquay United after he came on for Byron Moore who went off injured after nine minutes. Although Zola then found himself being subbed after 64 mins which lead to a bemused look on the Congolese striker.

Manager Dario Gradi will be hoping to have the 16 goal striker back when he is fully fit and as a precaution will not be risked as he felt the club rushed him back from injury.

Gradi told the official site "We perhaps brought Calvin back in a little early, although he did train very well last week. His movement was good and he looked sharp. His movement wasn't so good at Torquay and he complained about his ankle during the week.

"It is nothing too serious but it is not 100% either and we won't consider him for the weekend because it has hampered his training.

"We still have Shaun and Clayton and although I don't really consider them to be combining players, that was the best they linked up last week at Torquay."
