McFadzean returns for Reds

Kyle McFadzean returns from injury for Crawley's clash with Brentford at Griffin Park today.

The defender had missed the last three matches with a hip problem and boss Richie Barker hinted that he would not recover in time to be considered for the game against the Bees.

But with Claude Davis limping out of Tuesday's 3-1 win over Bournemouth and Shaun Cooper also sidelined McFadzean has been rushed back for the League One clash.

McFadzean's return is one of two changes from the side which beat the Cherries with Jonathan Forte making his full league debut in place of Nicky Ajose. The on-loan Southampton striker partners Gary Alexander on his return to the club he left towards the end of last season.

Brentford (4-4-2): Moore; Logan, Dean, Craig, Bidwell; Forshaw, Douglas, Diagouraga, Forrester; Hayes, Donaldson. Subs: Lee, O'Connor, El Alagui, Adeyemi, Dallas, Fredericks, Legge.

Crawley (4-4-2): P Jones; Byrne, McFadzean, Walsh, Sadler; M Jones, Simpson, Akpan, Adams; Forte, Alexander. Subs: Kuipers, Hunt, Connolly, Bulman, Torres, Ajose, Clarke.
