Murphy missing for the Alex

Crewe will be without midfielder Luke Murphy when they travel to Wycombe. The 21-year-old requires a hernia operation and will sit out the Railwaymen`s remaining three matches this campaign, starting with the trip to Adams Park. Defender Adam Dugdale made his first start since mid-March in the 2-1 victory over Morecambe and is likely to retain his place alongside Ashley Westwood. Clayton Donaldson bagged a brace in the dramatic comeback against the Shrimps and the striker will be hoping to add to his 27-goal haul. "That`s the first time we have come from behind to win a game all season so we are delighted," manager Dario Gradi said. Mat Mitchel-King made a late appearance as a defensive substitute and will be pushing for only his eighth start of the season. Crewe remain six points off the play-off places as the season draws to a close.
