Crewe Alexandra appeared to be set for a devastating news on defender Harry Davies, who appeared to have suffered a horrible injury. It was expected that he would be missing the next few months after being taken on a stretcher during the recent 3-0 defeat at the hands of Gillingham. Manager Steve Davis, though, has now confirmed that the defender will miss the next few weeks of action only, which is a huge relief for the club as a whole. The 22-year-old is expected to be back in action by the end of October.
It has been a difficult start to the new season for Crewe Alexandra, who could definitely do with a fully fit squad. After nine matches of the season, they are in the 18th position with six points on the board. They have not won in the last four matches, and Davis will certainly be hopeful of an early return for the defender. The team has been struggling a lot to prevent opposition from scoring goals, while they have also failed to take the chances that come their way. The last victory for the club came in the 1-0 win over Accrington Stanley in the League trophy.
Fleetwood town will be the next opponent in the competition. “It is more positive news involving Harry’s injury. He has suffered a grade one, which is the minor of those types of injuries. It is the best result we could have hoped for and it will be weeks rather than months. It looked serious at the time, because he doesn’t go down very often and he came off with physio Nick (Oakley) supporting the knee, so we feared the worse, so this is positive news. He should be out between three to six weeks depending on his recovery,” said the manager to the official website of Crewe Alexandra.
