Harry out after having surgery on missing tooth.

Defenders Harry Davis and Perry Ng will not feature in Crewe Alexandra’s opening two pre-season friendlies against Congleton Town this evening and Alsager tomorrow.

Davis has undergone dental surgery on the front tooth he had knocked out against Gillingham back in January. 

Liverpool-born NG has been struggling with a slight case of tendonitis of the knee. The versatile centre-half who can also play at full-back has not been able to train and will miss the opening two friendly games as a precaution.

The Alex boss will name a number of trialists in his squad as they try and impress to earn themselves a permanent deal. The trailists will include the former Colchester United midfielder David Fox.
