Bowery available again after missing clash against his parent club.

On loan striker Jordan Bowery is available again for selection after missing last weekend’s 3-0 win over Leyton Orient. Bowery was not allowed to face his parent club and in his absence youngsters Callum Ainley, Ryan Wintle and George Cooper were all on the scoresheet in a comfortable victory at Gresty Road.

Bowery, 25, has scored two goals for the Alex since joining us on loan in January.

Artell will be without centre-halves, George Ray (back), Ben Nugent (knee) and Jon Guthrie (hernia), as well as midfielder Danny Hollands (hamstring).

Goalkeeper Dave Richard is training again after overcoming a broken finger. Crewe could welcome back midfielder Tommy Lowery, 19, and he could be in the squad after returning for the U-23s.
