Defender to be assessed after suffering an ankle injury last night.

Crewe Alexandra’s on-loan defender Alan Tate will undergo a scan this afternoon to assess the full extent of the injury he suffered last night away at Peterborough. The on-loan Swansea City defender slipped on the pitch during the 1-1 draw at the Abax Stadium, suffering an ankle injury in the process.

Tate had to be withdrawn just after the half an hour mark and had to replaced by fellow defender Jon Guthrie as Crewe continued with the 3-4-3 formation.
