Morecambe have no fresh fitness issues ahead of Tuesday's Sky Bet League Two home clash with Crewe.
The Shrimps emerged from Saturday's 0-0 draw at Colchester unscathed. Defender Dean Winnard, who has not been involved for five matches, remains unavailable due to his Achilles injury. And forward Reece Deakin is also sidelined by a broken leg.
Crewe continue to be without a host of key players ahead of their visit to the Globe Arena. Defender Michael Raynes (groin) and midfielder Tom Lowery (hamstring) are the latest players on the treatment table and they will remain out after missing Saturday's loss to Forest Green.
They join long-term absentees James Jones (pelvis), Ryan Wintle (fractured tibia) and George Ray (back) on the sidelines. Struggling Alex are just three points above the relegation zone following only two wins from their previous 12 league games.
Morecambe are winless in their last three home league meetings with Crewe (D1 L2), since beating them 4-3 in April 2010.
In fact, the Railwaymen have won four of their last six league games against Morecambe (D1 L1), never conceding more than once in any of those matches.
Only Crawley (5) have scored fewer home goals than Morecambe (7) in League Two this season.
Crewe have picked up just three points on the road in League Two this season, fewer than any other side.
