Baudet: Struggling for Crewe

Crewe Alexandra skipper Julien Baudet is a big worry for the game against Oldham Athletic, who could have two players making their final appearances for the club.

The Railwaymen need a point to be certain of League One survival, but are waiting on Baudet, who will undergo a fitness test on his knee injury.

Billy Jones returns to the squad after missing the defeat at Bournemouth last week after his partner went into labour.

Club captain Neil Cox could make his final appearance before retiring at the end of the season, while Stuart Tomlinson and Ben Rix remain long-term absentees.

Oldham news

Gary McDonald and JP Kalala could both play their final games for Oldham at Gresty Road.

Midfielder McDonald has signed a pre-contract agreement with Aberdeen and has recovered from a recent groin strain.

Kalala has been told his contract will be cancelled when he finds a new club, so he is also primed for his last game in a Latics shirt, if selected.

Craig Davies is not due to feature after two months out with a hamstring problem, while fellow striker Lee Hughes is also absent.
