Injured Hunt misses out for Crewe against Plymouth
Posted Friday, August 02, 2019 by PA
Crewe will be without defender Nicky Hunt for the Sky Bet League Two opener against Plymouth.
Centre-back Hunt sustained a knee injury during the pre-season friendly against Wrexham and is expected to face an extended spell on the sidelines.
Midfielder Daniel Powell, signed from Northampton, will be hoping for a first appearance.
Summer signing Olly Lancashire, though, has a groin problem, so the defender will have to wait for his debut. Perry Ng could move across to the centre alongside Eddie Nolan.
New Plymouth boss Ryan Lowe has nearly a full squad available for the trip to Gresty Road.
Defender Will Aimson, one of several summer recruits from Lowe’s former club Bury, is expected to miss out having only just resumed training after a pelvic injury.
Midfielder Jose Baxter is stepping up his match fitness after joining on a short-term contract, having been without a club since the end of last season.
Forwards Ryan Taylor (ankle) and Dom Telford (thigh) continue their rehabilitation.
