Team news ahead Saturday's Sky Bet League 2 clash between Crawley and Carlisle

Crawley manager Mark Yates is hoping to have Gavin Tomlin back in contention when his side face Carlisle in Sky Bet League 2 at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday.

The striker has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury and has been back in training this week.

Matt Harrold (knee) and Liam McAlinden (hamstring) are both unavailable due to injury.

Andrew Bond will also miss out through suspension after being sent off in the 2-1 defeat at Northampton on Tuesday.

Carlisle will be without defender David Atkinson and striker Hallam Hope for the trip.

Atkinson injured his hamstring in the midweek defeat to Luton and Hope is serving the second of a three-game ban.

Alex McQueen could continue at right-back after a promising return to the first XI on Tuesday, with Tom Miller still struggling for fitness.

Central defender Mark Ellis is eligible again following a one-game suspension and Troy Archibald-Henville is also pushing for a recall, having replaced Atkinson from the bench.
