Crewe Alexandra will check on our Finnish goalkeeper, William Jaaskelainen, ahead of our weekend trip to Portsmouth after he aggravated a quad muscle in our 1-0 win over Hartlepool in the League Cup.

Jaaskelainen making his first start of the season after only recently recovering from Covid-19, needed treatment at half-time and later on in the game. David Artell revealed that the former Bolton Wanderers youngster played through the pain barrier to make sure Crewe got through to the Second Round.
