Fitness boost for Alex

Crewe have been handed a double injury boost with the news that Luke Murphy and Matt Tootle are set to resume training this week.

Murphy (knee) and Tootle (groin) missed the npower League One side's draw with Bolton at weekend, with Murphy only figuring once in the club's pre-season campaign so far. Alex boss Steve Davis told the club's website: "We have had one or two niggles but they are all progressing well and will be training again soon."
