Barnet head coach Martin Allen will be in the dugout for Saturday's game against Crewe Alexandra after seeing planned hospital surgery called off.

The 51-year-old had been due to go under the knife yesterday to clear tightening in the arteries around his heart; but after undergoing tests, has received the all-clear and has received no treatment.

Allen will now be fit to return to the club on Thursday, and will return to head their promotion push against the Alex, which could see them into the play-off places with a win.
