Accrington Stanley vs Hartlepool United FC - No new worries for Accrington ahead of Hartlepool clash

Accrington have no fresh injury problems for Tuesday's Sky Bet League Two clash at home to Hartlepool.

Captain Dean Winnard is not thought to be far away from returning after he sat out the 3-2 win at Cambridge on Saturday - fourth-placed Stanley's third victory in four league matches.

The same applies to fellow defender Adam Buxton, although it remains to be seen whether either will be involved in this game.

Otherwise, John Coleman's squad has a clean bill of health.

Hartlepool boss Ronnie Moore hopes right-back Michael Duckworth will be back fit after missing Saturday's defeat to Mansfield.

Duckworth has made good progress with a calf injury and is set to replace Scott Harrison who was given a torrid time by Stags winger Nathan Thomas on Saturday.

Carl Magnay and Nicky Featherstone are also possibilities to drop back into defence if Duckworth fails a late fitness test.

Jordan Richards remains a doubt as he struggles to regain match fitness following a back injury.
