Crawley will hand a late fitness test to midfielder Willie Gibson, who has been sidelined for the last two games with a dead leg.
Keeper Michel Kuipers (thigh) and Scott Neilson (foot) are out, along with Richard Brodie, Kyle McFadzean and Dannie Bulman, who are all suspended.
Crawley manager Steve Evans told BBC Sussex: "The downside of going to Gateshead is they've got a formidable home record and a stadium that's not ideal for football with a running track.
"We know it's a tough venue for us to go to, but they're all big games now.
"We treat the next game as the most important one. There will be no wild celebrations if we win - we won't get too high if we win, we won't get too low if it goes against us."
