GOAL machine Lee Trundle is one less danger to worry about when Kidderminster Harriers head to promotion-chasing Swansea on Saturday.
Twelve-goal Trundle injured his knee in Saturday's 2-1 victory at Leyton Orient.
But third-placed Swansea have been completely revived by boss Brian Flynn after last season's relegation scrap.
Harriers' excellent 4-0 win at The Vetch Field last season seems a distant memory, especially as the Swans are unbeaten at home this season.
Even without Trundle, Swansea have plenty of threatening players, including classy midfielders Leon Britton and Mark Wilson who is on loan from Middlesbrough.
Andy Robinson and target man Kevin Nugent have both bagged four goals.
Last season's top scorer James Thomas is back in contention but experienced duo Roberto Martinez and Karl Connolly are among the injured.
On Tuesday, Harriers head to Northampton who spent big by Division Three standards in the summer but have struggled to make an impression.
As a result, boss Martin Wilkinson lost his job and was replaced by former Spurs defender Colin Calderwood.
They responded with a 1-1 draw at Rochdale on Saturday but have still failed to win in their last six fixtures, including a 5-1 home defeat to Hull.
Former Sunderland striker Martin Smith has four goals to his credit.
