Beast Set For Southend Return

Julien Baudet will miss Saturday’s match against Bournemouth, but is expected to return for next week’s game at Southend.

The Frenchman limped off in last month’s 2-0 defeat at Doncaster and has not played since. He was expected to make a return on Saturday but a slight calf strain has ruled him out.

Steve Holland now says that Baudet will return to the line-up when Crewe visit Southend a week on Saturday.

Danny O’Donnell and Chris McCready look set to continue at centre back this weekend.
