Strike pair doubtful for Pools
Hartlepool first-team coach Mick Wadsworth has injury doubts over James Brown and Antony Sweeney for the trip to Walsall.
Striker Brown went over on his ankle during the first half of Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat against Leyton Orient and had to be substituted despite receiving lengthy treatment.
If Brown fails to recover in time Colin Larkin could deputise, although Wadsworth has other options in Ritchie Humphreys and Andy Monkhouse.
Top scorer Sweeney, who missed the midweek defeat against Leyton Orient, remains doubtful with an ankle wound suffered against Plymouth which required stitches.
Veteran midfielder Paul Murray, 34, looks set to keep his place after returning against the Os but Joe Gamble and Adam Boyd are pushing for recalls following midweek cameo appearances.
