Hartlepool United captain Nicky Featherstone returns to face Scunthorpe United

Featherstone has not featured since Pools’ defeat by Salford City at the Suit Direct Stadium at the beginning of April and has not been involved in any of the last three successive squads.

Featherstone has been dealing with a lower stomach injury since finding himself on the bench at Forest Green Rorvers recently but is back in the starting line-up for Pools in their penultimate game of the season against an already relegated Scunthorpe side.
