Crewe Alexandra boss Dario Gradi is expecting loanee Harry Worley to be a more than able replacement for injured skipper Matt Mitchell-King.

The 21-year-old has featured 13 times for the Alex this term, but was forced to miss three months of action because of an ankle injury.

With their inspirational skipper set for a spell on the sidelines, Worley has been drafted into the squad and Gradi thinks he can fill the void.

Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke, Gradi said: "He's got a lot of potential, we've just got to polish him I think.

"He's got lots of raw ability, he just need to make better decisions.

Worley is delighted to be set for a return, although he would prefer to be a first-choice selection and he said: "Obviously you want to get back into the team on merit, but if I'm back in the team because of an injury, then so be it.

"If they didn't rate me here, they wouldn't have wanted me to sign until the end of the season."
