Hartlepool manager Chris Turner could name an unchanged line-up for the League One trip to take on free-scoring Huddersfield on Saturday.

Full-back Steve Haslam underwent a hernia operation on Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks, but he has not been involved in the first team in recent weeks.

Young striker Matty Tymon suffered ankle ligament damage in last week's reserve-team clash with Scunthorpe, but again he has been on the fringes of late.

Ritchie Jones showed no ill-effects on his return from a thigh injury and virus in last weekend's 1-0 win against Leyton Orient and should keep his place.

And forward James Brown should again start in attack after coming through 87 minutes against the O's on his return from a knee injury.
