Under previous manager Matthew Bates hopes had been high the former Middlesbrough midfielder could return to action next month.

Those hopes appear to be fading with Money believing Williams has a lot of work ahead of him to return after two operations on an injured knee.

"I can’t give you a timeframe," he said when asked about the player's availability.

"He is still in rehab. I cannot say any more than that really.

"He is not even doing any work yet, a little in the gym but he has a lot of muscle to build back after two ops.

"He will not be back in the foreseeable future."

This news comes as a blow to Pools, who are yet to see Williams in action following his high-profile return to the club in the summer.

Williams signed a deal following his release by Scunthorpe United in the summer - a move sanctioned by owner Raj Singh.
