Anthony Grant and Ryan Colclough train again ahead of vital home game

Crewe Alexandra have been handed a boost ahead of this weekend’s home encounter with Walsall with the news that Ryan Colclough and Anthony Grant successfully came through today’s final training session.

Colclough has not trained since last Saturday after he took a knock on his ankle against Leyton Orient. The forward was not risked for the club’s Under-21’s final game of the season against Sheffield Wednesday but is back in contention for the matchday squad this weekend.

Influential midfielder Grant returned to the starting XI at Peterborough United on Tuesday evening after serving an untimely two-match ban for collecting ten yellow cards before the Easter deadline.

Grant has been struggling with a groin strain since Tuesday night but he has been able to train today with no complaint to declare himself fit and available for selection.
