Darlington striker Julian Joachim will miss their trip to Edgar Street on October 14th after being ruled out for a month with a hamstring problem.
Joachim, who has scored five times in ten games since a six figure move from Boston, was withdrawn at half time in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Mansfield with scans later revealing the extent of the damage.
In other news, Boston boss Steve Evans has told reporters that he will quit at Christmas if results do not improve, but he may not get the opportunity to wait that long with sentencing on his fraud trial due in early November.
