Harrogate Town must tackle Crawley Town this afternoon (Saturday) without their manager in attendance.

Simon Weaver will not be at the EnviroVent Stadium as the Sulphurites go in search of a first win in four League Two outings because he is self-isolating as a Covid-19 precaution.

Town number two Paul Thirlwell will oversee proceedings for the visit of the Red Devils in 42-year-old Weaver's absence.
