Sadler was looking forward to an extended week of training with the game taking place on the Monday not the Saturday because of Coronation celebrations.

But two of his players – Hayden White and Owen Evans – came off at half time at Crawley and two others – Douglas James-Taylor and Joss Labadie – are also struggling with knocks.

Sadler said: “It might be a case of the walking wounded but we will have to assess them all and see where we are towards the end of the week.

“I feel sorry for them all – Owen has a thigh strain and I know what that is like and Hayden had only just come back from suspension, plus Joss has had long spells out this season. Hopefully they will all come through.”
