Hartlepool manager Danny Wilson will be without Antony Sweeney when his free-scoring side host Wrexham this weekend.
The midfielder faces four weeks out of action after damaging knee ligaments in the 4-1 midweek win at Grimsby.
Willie Boland replaced Sweeney at Blundell Park and should keep his place after impressing alongside Gary Liddle in the centre of the park.
Mark Tinkler continues to struggle with a long-standing Achilles problem, while Michael Proctor's stint on the sidelines will extend until Christmas after the striker underwent surgery to correct his knee injury.
Wrexham could be without midfielder Darren Ferguson.
The 34-year-old sustained an ankle injury during Wednesday's 2-1 home defeat against Rochdale and is rated doubtful.
The Dragons are already missing strikers Neil Roberts (ankle ligament) and Lee McEvilly (foot), along with Shaun Pejic (sore heel) and Levi Mackin (knee).
Striker Chris Llewellyn is expected to play through the pain barrier of bruised ankles once again.
