PADIHAM boss Steve Wilkes admits he feels he's been cursed after losing Steve Pickup to another bizarre injury.
The defender has strained ankle ligaments after falling out of his van during the week and it is not known how long he will be sidelined for.
Wilkes said: "I don't believe it. He's not missed a match in the last two-and-a-half years and then this happens."
The Storks travel to bottom of the table Holker Old Boys tomorrow.
Andy Haworth is back in the squad after recovering from cracked ribs, but Danny Dignan (hernia) is out and Scott Dignan has joined New Mills.
