SHAUN Pearson will definitely miss Grimsby Town's trip to Luton tomorrow night - but recalled defender Simon Ford could make his debut in his place.
Pearson continues to struggle with the hip injury that ruled him out of Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Dartford.
And his absence could provide an opportunity for Ford, who has been recalled from his loan spell at AFC Telford.
If he were to play against the Hatters, it would be the 31-year-old's first competitive appearance since joining the Mariners at the start of the season.
Other than Pearson, Town have no other injury doubts, with both Derek Niven and Craig Disley having been declared fit for selection.
