Team news ahead of Peterborough trip

David Artell has told the club’s official website that the injury to Oli Finney ‘will open the door for someone else’. Finney suffered a broken leg at Shrewsbury on Tuesday evening and his absence will re-open the door for another midfielder to stake their claim.

Luke Murphy started at the New Meadow on Tuesday night and Tom Lowery came off the bench to replace the injured Finney.

The on-loan, Ant Evans will be hoping for more opportunities after impressing as an impact sub on his debut away at Gillingham. Evans came off the bench to create our consolation goal for Chris Porter on the evening.

Crewe have been boosted with the news that both Billy Jones and Charlie Kirk have resumed training and are expected to travel with the squad later today.
