Crewe to make late check on Aaron Taylor-Sinclair

Posted Wednesday, April 17, 2019 by PA

Aaron Taylor-Sinclair is a doubt for Crewe’s Good Friday encounter with relegation-battlers Yeovil.

On-loan defender Taylor-Sinclair opened the scoring in Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Notts County before a quad problem forced him off in the closing stages, and he will be monitored.

The game comes too soon for defender Harry Pickering following hernia surgery but boss David Artell is hopeful forward Owen Dale (back spasm) will be available.

Forward Jordan Bowery and midfielder George Ray, who are out of contract at the end of the season, were left out at the weekend and it remains to be seen whether Artell will recall them.

Yeovil may be able to call on defender Omar Sowunmi following his return to training.

Sowunmi missed Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Crawley due to an ankle injury but is in contention to play some part as 23rd-placed Town bid to drag themselves out of the relegation zone at Gresty Road.

Midfielder Rhys Browne is unlikely to return from the hamstring injury which has ruled him out of the last five games.

Defender Josh Grant (Achilles) remains with his parent club Chelsea.
