Hartlepool United make two changes for today’s Enterprise National League fixture against Wealdstone at Victoria Park.

Liam Gibson returns to the heart of the defence in place of Sam Lavelle, who sustained a knock in training yesterday.

Jordan Hugill is paired up front with Will Harris, with Brooklyn Ilunga dropping to the substitutes’ bench.

Defender Jay Benn returns to the matchday squad after fully recovering from a hernia operation that ruled him out of the previous five league matches.

Charlie Thornton is not involved as he continues to build his match fitness, having featured for the Under-21s yesterday. Neo Eccleston is unavailable as he serves the final game of his three-match suspension.
