Reaction

Fleetwood boss Pete Wild said: “We wish Shilow Tracey all the best as no-one likes to see that sort of injury in any game. Danny Mayor is devastated that it happened.” Crewe's last result was a 0-0 draw against Cambridge United on 2026-05-02. The team will look to bounce back from this loss and improve their standing in the league.
