Barnet head coach Martin Allen will be out of action for the club's home game with Crewe Alexandra after undergoing "minor" surgery around his heart.

The Bees' boss is in the Royal Berkshire Hospital to have treatment to clear tightness in his arteries, in his own words, and will be away from the club for the rest of the week.

The club's coaching staff, Rossi Eames, James Russell, Carl Muggleton and Luigi Cerullo will lead the club during Allen's absence, with Eames taking charge in the dugout next weekend.

On the pitch, the Bees extended their unbeaten league run to four games on Saturday after a 2-2 draw at promotion-chasing Grimsby Town, including a penalty double from top scorer John Akinde, and they now sit two points outside the play-offs.
