FA Cup: Crawley's tie at Bournemouth set to go ahead after Covid-19 outbreak

League Two club Crawley Town will be without five players for Tuesday's rearranged FA Cup fourth-round tie against Championship side Bournemouth.

The tie was rescheduled after a coronavirus outbreak at the club last week meant the Reds were unable to fulfil Saturday's original fixture.

John Yems' squad, minus the five, were cleared to resume training on Monday.

Crawley say they have conducted over 220 coronavirus tests since Monday, 18 January.

All but six people tested negative in the most recent round, allowing a return to training and competitive action.

The West Sussex club's training ground and the People's Pension Stadium have been deep cleaned and sanitised, and players and staff will continue to follow strict guidelines at both locations.
