Accrington Stanley vs Crawley Town - Dean Winnard still Accrington's only absentee



Posted Friday, February 12, 2016 by PA

Accrington manager John Coleman has no fresh injury worries as his side welcome Crawley to the Crown Ground in Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

The Reds boss wants his team to come out fighting after they were "well beaten" by Carlisle at Brunton Park last weekend.

Mark Hughes, who signed after being released by Stevenage during the January transfer window, is looking to make his debut whilst Scott Brown and Rommy Boco are hoping to be included in the starting XI after being brought on as late substitutes against the Cumbrians.

Dean Winnard remains on the sidelines with an ankle injury which has kept him out of the side since December.

Crawley's Lanre Oyebanjo will travel with manager Mark Yates' squad but he is unlikely to feature.

The right-back last played on April 14, and has since suffered with a succession of knee injuries before a thigh problem delayed his comeback last month.

Fellow defender Joe McNerney, owing to a knee injury, remains a minimum of three weeks from a first-team return.

Midfielder Jimmy Smith is also expected to return at around the same time and is scheduled to have a protective boot removed next week after breaking his ankle on January 2.
