Worthing have suffered another injury blow ahead of the FA Trophy replay with Hednesford.

Mark Pulling will miss the tie after breaking an arm during Saturday's league defeat against Dulwich.

Pulling finished the game and only discovered later his arm was broken.

Manager Alan Pook said: "Mark Pulling has been playing the best football of his career and would have been one of the first names on the teamsheet."

Ben Carrington, Wes Lopez and James Virgo are already ruled out by long-term injuries and Owen Hill is doubtful with a knee problem.

In addition, Mark Knee is unavailable and Luke Fontana is cup-tied.

On the plus side, former Albion striker Darren Freeman has passed a fitness test and will be in the squad while Sean Edwards and Chris Dicker return after missing the Dulwich game.

Despite the injuries, Pook remains confident of beating the Dr Martens premier division side and setting up a last 16 clash at home to either Forest Green Rovers or Dover Athletic on Saturday. He said: "If we are right defensively, I am confident we will win."
