Crawley vs Macclesfield preview
Friday 22 February 2019 12:25, UK
Luke Gambin is set to return to action in Crawley's Sky Bet League Two home clash with Macclesfield.
The Malta midfielder, on loan at Crawley from Luton, is fit again after missing the 0-0 draw at Northampton last weekend due to a hip problem.
A calf injury has meant Ibrahim Meite has been unable to make his first appearance since rejoining the club earlier this month, and the forward remains sidelined. The Reds also have long-term absentee Jimmy Smith (knee) still out.
Macclesfield boss Sol Campbell looks set to have the same group of players to select from as he did last time out. It appeared the Silkmen did not sustain any injuries in the 1-1 draw with Colchester on Saturday.
That result made it eight points accrued in the last six games. Sol Campbell's men, lying second-bottom, are currently a point behind 22nd-placed Yeovil.
