Steve Evans is hopeful Crawley will have three of their injured players fit for tomorrow’s game with Ebbsfleet United.

The Reds have five key players on the treatment table as they look to step up their bid for the play-offs.

New loan signing Matt Langston picked up a dead leg on his debut against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday but should be fit.

Boss Evans is also optimistic Charlie Ademeno and Glenn Wilson will be able to play.

Ademeno limped off in the 2-1 defeat of the Dons with a groin problem while Wilson played the whole game despite a dead leg which forced him off at Stevenage last Saturday.

The Reds chief is less hopeful of skipper Adam Quinn or Eddie Hutchinson returning but is refusing to rule out either player.

Quinn has missed the last three games with a calf problem while Hutchinson picked up an ankle injury last weekend.

Evans said: “I am hopeful Charlie and Glenn will be fit. We have such a small squad anyway. If not we will go again with what we have got.”

Crawley (from): Rayner, Rusk, Langston, Broadhurst, Rents, Quinn, Hutchinson, Cogan, Wilson, Pinault, Smith, Forrest, Ademeno, Malcolm, Killeen, Napper, Carter, Jordan.

Ebbsfleet (from): Cronin, Salmon, Crooks, Charles, Collins, Holmes, Bailey, Stavrinou, Pooley, Ashikodi, Ginty, Vieira, Shakes, Wills, Hagan, Heeroo, West, Welsh.
