Lowery, Saunders and Wintle all set to Field Mill trip

Crewe Alexandra will be without young midfield Tom Lowery (thigh) and youngsters’ Callum Saunders and Ryan Wintle are struggling with illness. Places will be available in the Crewe Alexandra squad with the fit-again Ryan Lowe battling it out with Charlie Kirk for a starting place in the team. 

Captain Ryan Lowe has returned to training this week after missing the last three games due to a hamstring injury. Kirk has started the last three games and arguably produced his best performance in a Crewe shirt against Carlisle on Boxing Day.
