Hartlepool United starting XI to face Rotherham United in the Papa John's Trophy semi-final as Graeme Lee makes one change to his team

Pools are looking to book their spot at Wembley for the first time in the club’s history by overcoming League One leaders Rotherham.

Lee’s side will be backed by a sold-out Suit Direct Stadium with the winners to face Sutton United in next month’s final.

And Lee has made one change to the side who got back to winning ways over Harrogate Town at the weekend.

Pools are without loan stars Bryn Morris, Joe White and Jake Hull who are all cup-tied having featured in the competition for their parent club’s in an earlier rounds.

Neill Byrne returns to the side after serving a two match suspension for picking up his 10th yellow card recently.

And here is the Pools starting line-up in full to face Rotherham in the Papa John’s Trophy semi-final.
