Louie Copley was absent from Crawley Town’s squad to face Accrington Stanley at the weekend, and the club have confirmed that this was due to injury.

Though details of the problem aren’t currently available, it’s a concern for the on-loan Arsenal midfielder given the two injury absences he’s already had in the last few months.

Copley was out of action for three games between January and February, and in his return match against Tranmere Rovers he suffered a setback ruling him out of Crawley’s next seven fixtures.

The 19-year-old’s second return from injury went a lot better at first, as he started four of Crawley’s next five games, playing 30 minutes as a substitute in the only one he didn’t start.

In fact, following Copley’s last appearance against Shrewsbury Town, he received praise from former Arsenal academy coach and Crawley boss Colin Kazim-Richards.
