Chesterfield do not have any concerns over Dilan Markanday for the trip to Crawley Town this weekend.

The winger was on the end of a heavy challenge on his shin from Bradley Dack just before half-time in the 1-0 win against Gillingham on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old managed to continue until the hour-mark before being withdrawn but the Spireites do not see it keeping him out of Saturday’s match.

"Dilan is fine,” Kieron Dyer said on Friday morning. “It was a nasty tackle when we watched it back. He (Dack) got away with one there. He (Markanday) was feeling it at half-time and you could see he wasn’t at 100%, he was still feeling the effects of it.”

The Crawley clash is the Blues’ third game of the week so they will have to make a decision on whether they need to make changes to give them some fresh legs.

"We are going to look at the squad, we are going to find out who is running on low, we are going to pick a squad full of energy and we want to go there and continue our good run, we need three points and we are more than capable of getting them,” Dyer told the DT.

Crawley are 21st in the table, just two points and two places above the relegation zone, but Dyer has watched a lot of their games and he thinks they are one of the better teams in the division in certain parts of their game.

He added: “From a performance point of view, Crawley are a lot better than their league position shows. I would probably say that between both 18-yard boxes they are probably one of the better teams in the league. I think Scott (Lindsey) will probably say they haven’t been clinical enough in the box and they probably haven’t defended as well as they want. But their performance to get to the final third is very good. We are going to have to have loads of energy. They try to dominate the ball, they have great patterns, got Ronan Darcy and (Klaidi) Lolos who are great 10s. We know all about Ronan. We have to be on it. We will have to be brilliant with and without the ball.because they are very good at what they do.”
