Jason Tindall has delivered his latest team news ahead of tomorrow evening's FA Cup fourth round clash with Crawley. 

The Reds travel to Vitality Stadium for a 7pm kick-off in a game that was rearranged from Saturday afternoon due to a Covid-19 outbreak in the visiting camp. 

Ahead of the clash, Tindall addressed the media and stated how he should be close to having a fully-fit squad available. 

"We've had a few players nursing a few minor knocks," he began. 

"It's something that we've been managing for the last three or four days.

"Again, we've had to manage a couple of people this morning to see how they are and we'll do the same tomorrow morning, but there's nothing too serious to worry about.

"Hopefully we'll have everybody fit enough to be selected or in contention to play tomorrow night, but we'll only find that out in the morning." 

Tindall went on to discuss the fitness of Philip Billing and Rodrigo Riquelme, who both missed the defeat at Derby with minor hamstring injuries. 

"Both came through training and both were just a couple of days out in the end.

"They were actually very similar in terms of tightness in their hamstrings, but both have ended up training the last few days and have looked good in training.

"They'll be raring to go if selected tomorrow." 

With the likes of Jordan Zemura, Gavin Kilkenny and Jaidon Anthony featuring heavily in cup competitions so far this season, Tindall spoke highly of their impact and the progress they're making. 

"It's great for any young player to get any opportunity to play in the first team, whether that be in a cup competition or in the league.

"Those guys whenever called upon have done themselves justice and have settled into the group extremely well.

"I've got no doubt that, if any of them are required tomorrow evening, they'll go out there and give everything to the team and to the football club.

"They're developing well and iI'm sure they'll be itching for that opportunity."
