Crawley Town have confirmed skipper Dannie Bulman suffered a fractured cheekbone in the Boxing Day defeat to MK Dons.

Bulman was taken off four minutes before half-time following a clash with visiting defender Jordan Spence.

He will be ruled out for up to three weeks.

Nicky Adams, who was substituted after 14 minutes of Thursday’s 2-0 defeat with a back injury, will be fit for Sunday’s League One match at home to Notts County.
