Kidderminster Harriers defender Craig Hinton will return after injury in a bid to snuff out the threat of Darlington's new star striker Faustino Asprilla tomorrow.

Former £6.7m Newcastle United ace Asprilla is being lined up to make his debut in the Nationwide League Division Three clash at Aggborough (3pm) after the Quakers had his work permit granted on appeal earlier this week.

The 32-year-old Colombian international's high-profile appearance will provide a challenging come-back for Hinton who has missed Harriers' last two matches after breaking his nose in the 3-1 defeat against Rushden & Diamonds.

Kidderminster, however, will again be without giant central defender Abdou Sall who missed last Monday's 0-0 draw at Leyton Orient because of an ankle injury.

Midfielder Dean Bennett who also ruled out again because of ligament damage to his right ankle.

Danish striker Bo Henriksen, who has groin trouble which forced him to sit on the bench at Orient, has a 50-50 chance of being fit to make the starting line-up tomorrow.

Sall, Bennett and Henriksen are among a bumper crop of players who have been on the treatment table this week.

The others include Ian Foster (sore shins), Adie Smith (back), Danny Williams (calf strain), and Scott Stamps (eye) who are expected to pass fitness tests.

Mark Blake has stepped up his rehabilitation programme after surgery on a damaged Achilles tendon while Sean Flynn has had stitches removed from an eye wound.

Striker Drewe Broughton will be missing tomorrow because of a one match ban handed out for his sending off in the 3-1 defeat at Rushden.

Flamboyant Asprilla's appearance is set to spark a media frenzy tomorrow, but Harriers manager Ian Britton is urging his players not to be unsettled by the fuss.

He said: "It would be nice if he played. He's very unpredictable. On his day at Newcastle he was a very, very good player.

"But on the day I am more concerned about what we do, rather than who they have playing for them.

"We have two home games coming up, so it's important we get two wins to get up the table.

"We've drawn two and lost one from three away games, thought I'm always thinking we could have done better at Rushden.

"We're at home tomorrow and the onus will be on us to attack.

"Darlington will make it very difficult for us, but we have players that can open up defences.
