Crawley are set to be without several players for the Sky Bet League Two visit of Bradford on Saturday afternoon.

Town boss John Yems has admitted he is “struggling” for a team after George Francomb and Joel Lynch joined a growing injury list when they limped off in their midweek draw against Harrogate.

Ashley Nadesan will miss out through suspension after he was sent off for being involved in a head to head with Harrogate’s Connor Hall.

Ever-present midfielder Jake Hessenthaler is expected to line up once again.

Derek Adams is also facing injury concerns of his own as he is set to be without six first-team players for Bradford’s trip south on Saturday.

Charles Vernam felt tightness towards the end of the Papa John’s Trophy fixture against Manchester United Under-21s and will not be risked at the weekend.

Captain Niall Canavan is still missing for the Bantams; he has not featured since their 1-1 draw with Walsall earlier this month.

Caolan Lavery and Theo Robinson will also be sidelined while Lee Angol and Abo Eisa continue to recover from long-term injuries.
