Cambridge United vs Hartlepool United FC preview - Simpson worry for U's

Cambridge are sweating on the fitness of Robbie Simpson for the visit of Hartlepool.

The striker missed Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Cheltenham with what boss Richard Money described as a "knock".

Money is still without long-term injury victim Issa Diallo (Achilles).

Harrison Dunk, Matteo Lanzoni and Luke Chadwick are all pushing for recalls after starting on the bench in midweek.

Hartlepool striker Charlie Wyke is expected to shake off illness in time for new boss Paul Murray's first game in charge.

Wyke was forced off during the midweek defeat at Accrington due to a chest infection but should be available to Murray, who was named as Colin Cooper's permanent replacement on Thursday.

Murray and new assistant Willie Donachie have no new injury or suspension problems, but are still without defender Stuart Parnaby and winger Jack Compton (both knee).

Midfielders Brad Walker and Jonathan Franks, plus defender Jordan Richards are among those pushing for recalls as Pools bid for a second league win in nine matches.
