Strike duo could make Hartlepool squad

Hartlepool boss Dave Jones will have deadline-day signings Louis Rooney and Andrew Nelson available for Saturday's League Two clash with Yeovil.

The strikers have joined the club on loan from Plymouth and Sunderland respectively and come into contention.

Their availability is timely for Jones with frontman Billy Paynter likely to miss out once again with the Achilles injury which has kept him out of the last two games.

Nathan Thomas could return after not being risked at Newport last weekend following groin surgery, but fellow midfielder Michael Woods is a doubt after turning an ankle in training.

Yeovil could hand debuts to one of their three deadline-day signings.

Loan trio Kabongo Tshimanga, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Owain Jones are all available but only one may feature as the Glovers have reached their loan limit.

Midfielder Alex Lawless will look to return to the matchday squad after missing four games with a hip flexor problem.

Loanee Ryan Hedges was sold to Barnsley by Swansea this week, while Otis Khan is still nursing an ankle injury.
