Mark Connolly faces late test for Crawley

Crawley defender Mark Connolly faces a late fitness test before their Sky Bet League Two game with Accrington.

The 24-year-old suffered a knock in training and manager Dermot Drummy has admitted he is "touch and go".

Jimmy Smith took a knock in the Reds' 2-1 defeat to Cheltenham last weekend but is fully fit and in contention but Josh Payne and Jordan Roberts are still unavailable despite resuming training.

Addison Garnett is expected to feature in the Sussex Senior Cup rather than the first team to build his match fitness but Matt Harrold (Achilles) remains a long-term absentee.

Accrington captain Seamus Conneely is suspended for the clash.

The Irish defender was booked for the fifth time this season in last weekend's victory over Blackpool and sits out.

Veteran forward Gary Taylor-Fletcher has signed a short-term deal with the club having been on non-contract terms.

He provides back-up for Terry Gornell and Billy Kee, who have been carrying minor injuries.
