Salford City hope to have striker Gareth Seddon available when they make their FA Cup second-round debut on Friday with a home tie against Hartlepool.

Seddon has been missing from the matchday squad of late following a knee problem, but he has been in training ahead of the clash with Sky Bet League 2 Pools.

Fellow forward Tom Peers, on loan from Chester, is eligible to play, but midfielder Luke Clark (hamstring) is set to miss out.

Co-managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley were sent off during last Saturday's 2-0 loss at Grantham, but they will be able to take their place in the dugout on Friday.

Hartlepool boss Ronnie Moore will make a late decision over defender Carl Magnay following a blow to the head during last weekend's 1-0 home defeat by Oxford United.

Magnay left the pitch suffering double vision and will be assessed over the next 24 hours, but he is expected to be available.

However, midfielder Michael Woods is out with a thigh problem and joins defender Harry Worley (ankle) and striker Billy Paynter (Achilles) on the sidelines.

Winger Kai Naismith is cup-tied having being used as a substitute in the last round by parent club Portsmouth, but fellow loan signings Jake Gray, Adam Jackson and Mikael Mandron have all been given permission to play by their respective clubs.
