Despite being on the receiving end of some harsh challenges Inman and Coco declare themselves fit.

Crewe Alexandra wingers Ryan Colclough and Brad Inman have trained this week and are set to be available for this weekend’s trip to Bradford City. Colclough was forced off with a back injury after 35 minutes against Eastleigh last Saturday and Inman was exposed to some really hefty challenges coming from the non-leaguers.

Ahead of this weekend’s trip to Valley Parade, Steve told us: “Ryan and Brad have been stiff this week after the punishment they received last week. They were not protected as much as they should have been.

“Ryan was unable to continue after getting a knee in the back and Brad was on the receiving end of some heavy challenges. To his credit he kept getting up and wanting the ball.

“We have wrapped them in cotton wool this week because we wanted to give them the best chance of being available for the weekend. If they can get through the final session without any problems then they will be considered for selection.”
