Crawley Town vs AFC Wimbledon preview - McLeod may land Reds recall

Crawley striker Izale McLeod could be set for a recall against AFC Wimbledon after being left out of manager Mark Yates' squad amid speculation over a transfer to Notts County or Southend.

Both are reported to be interested in recruiting McLeod but Yates said: "He's in and around the group [again] and we'll see what happens. I haven't spoken to him properly, but at least he's in today."

Crawley lost 2-0 at Peterborough on Tuesday after Yates made four changes from the team that drew 1-1 at Oxford in their first game of the season.

New signing Bryan van den Bogaert, and Shamir Fenelon, Lewis Young and Matt Harrold hope to retain their places, despite Tuesday's defeat.

AFC Wimbledon have no fresh injury concerns after their 1-0 Capital One Cup defeat at Cardiff on Tuesday.

Tom Beere has returned to training and is back in contention while the club are still awaiting clearance on former Arsenal youngster Christian Toonga, who joined the Dons in the summer.

Sean Rigg, Callum Kennedy, Jon Meades and Will Nightingale are all hoping to retain their places after coming into the side against Cardiff.

Wimbledon began their league campaign last weekend with a 2-0 defeat at home to Plymouth.
