Crewe will travel to Swindon to kick-off their League Two campaign with an injury-free squad to choose from.
Boss Dario Gradi will have all options available to him after Carl Martin, AJ Leitch-Smith and Luke Murphy shook off minor knocks and illnesses. "We do not have any serious injuries to contend with and our preparations during the pre-season was to make sure that we have as many players as possible for selection," Gradi explained to the club's official website. "I do not understand the value of blitzing players over five or six weeks and then getting the footballs out again when they are all stiff or tired. That is usually when injuries occur. "The players have been sharp in training and in the matches. We have been able to play some good football against some good football and that is all we can ask of them."
