McNerney could make Crawley return for Cheltenham clash

Joe McNerney could return for Crawley for their Sky Bet League One clash with Cheltenham.

The defender has been absent with a back injury and is yet to feature for Crawley this season.

Head coach Gabriele Cioffi could make a late decision on Josh Dacres-Cogley after the defender came off just 14 minutes into Saturday’s win over Leyton Orient and missed the Norwich Carabao Cup clash.

Cioffi made three changes for that match but could shuffle the pack for this weekend’s tie.

Cheltenham will continue to be without Luke Varney for the trip to Crawley.

The striker came off at half-time in his side’s draw with Swindon on Saturday with a hamstring problem and is expected to return in two weeks.

Rohan Ince will be available after his five-match suspension for an incident in the season opener against Leyton Orient.

In a boost for Michael Duff, Alex Addai has returned to training, but Max Sheaf remains sidelined.
