HARTLEPOOL FC: SOLANO SET FOR SPELL ON SIDELINES

Hartlepool United will have to cope without influential midfielder Nolberto Solano until next month after it was confirmed his hamstring injury will result in a spell on the sidelines.

The 36 year old was replaced in his side's clash with Notts County at the weekend and boss Mick Wadsworth has now revealed the extent of the problem.

"Nobby will be out for a while, it's in a different part to last time, a similar injury though and it's disappointing. He will get on with it and the physio department will get him back as soon as possible. It's not too bad a tear and we are looking at two or three weeks from now."

Solano has had a stop start season so far, he missed four matches at the beginning of the season due to a similar injury.
