Hereford have received a triple injury boost ahead of the visit of bottom side Darlington.

Attacking midfielder Marc Pugh (calf) and defenders Darren Jones and Darren Dennehy (both ankle) are all back in contention after lengthy spells on the sidelines.

Their returns will provide a timely boost for the Bulls as they look to bounce back from last week's 1-0 reverse at Bradford, a defeat which ended a run of five matches unbeaten in all competitions.

James Walker has gone back to Southend after opting not to extend his loan spell at Edgar Street but fellow loanees Craig King, Mark Marshall and Danny Blanchett are all available.

Midfielder Craig Jones (back) remains the club's only player in the treatment room, with physio Jamie Pitman tipping the midfielder to return with the next month.

Glen Southam parted company with the Bulls by mutual consent last week and will therefore not be involved.
