Speaking after Saturday's stalemate, the Pool boss said: “Longy was just cramping up so we’ll have to look after him a bit.
“Jordan was just ill. He’s actually fine now but we weren’t going to bring him down half-ill. We were on the bus for seven hours as it was.
“He’ll come into contention next week.
"Jay Spearing will also certainly come into contention and I don’t think we’ve picked anything else up bar Longy.
“But he says it’s just cramp, so fingers crossed for next week.”
