Pools host the League One side at the Suit Direct Stadium this weekend and are potentially short of defensive numbers with Murray recovering from a hamstring issue while midfielder Mouhamed Niang, who has been deputising in defence, went off during Tuesday’s win over Marske United with an ankle problem.
Murray is not expected to return to full training duties until Monday according to Pools boss Paul Hartley, but the club has released images of the Scottish defender being put through his paces with head of sports science Keith McGrath.
