Crewe Alexandra vs Millwall preview - Crewe boss Steve Davis pinning hopes on returning international duo

Manager Steve Davis will hope his returning international players can provide Crewe with the boost they need to launch their season in earnest against Millwall.

The Alex have slumped to the foot of the League One table having collected just two points from their opening six games and are still awaiting their first victory of the campaign.

However, Davis will have striker Marcus Haber back from international duty with Canada, while on-loan Liverpool teenager Harry Wilson could make his debut for the club after scoring for Wales' Under-21s in a 3-1 European Championship qualifier victory in Luxembourg.

Hamstring victim Billy Bingham, who missed last Saturday's 3-1 home defeat by Swindon, is expected to miss out once again.

Millwall boss Neil Harris has no new injury worries for the trip.

On-loan Newcastle winger Shane Ferguson could feature having played twice for Northern Ireland in their European Championship qualifiers after overcoming a hamstring complaint.

Defender Joe Martin is also in contention after an ankle injury while Carlos Edwards is waiting for his first involvement of the campaign after signing up until January.

As well as Ferguson, goalkeeper David Forde, Mahlon Romeo and Kyron Farrell returned from international duty unscathed and Harris will have the trio at his disposal.
