Liam Gibson has 'a good chance' of being fit enough to feature in Hartlepool United's clash with Aldershot Town

"We don't want that to turn into a hamstring issue, it's just a bit of stiffness in there at the moment. He's got a good chance of being available as well."

Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark admits defender Liam Gibson has "a good chance" of being available for Saturday's long trip to Aldershot Town.

The 29-year-old was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI ahead of last week's commanding 2-0 win over well-fancied Barrow on the opening day of the new National League season, partnering Reiss McNally in the heart of the Pools defence.

The versatile defender, who can operate at centre-half or left-back, produced an assured showing on his competitive Pools debut before being forced off after feeling some tightness in his hamstring after 61 minutes.
