Crawley Town boss John Yems 'very close to coming back' says assistant Lee Bradbury

Bradbury was in charge for last night's 1-1 draw with Bradford City. The club tweeted before the game: "Again Head Coach John Yems will be watching from home due to ongoing personal reasons. We hope to see him back soon and wish him all the best!"

After the game Bradbury said: "I don't know if I'm in charge at the weekend. He's very close to coming back. He's feeling better."

And although missed, Nick Tsaroulla said: "We love him here. He's deeply missed. He's there with us in spirit with his messages. We've got him behind us.”

Reds travel to Leyton Orient on Saturday.
