Skipper Hartley ruled out of Saints' battle with Bath
Tom Wood is also absent as he continues to nurse the shoulder problem that ruled him out of last Saturday's 24-11 victory against Leicester Tigers at the Gardens.
But both players are expected to return to training next week, with Stephen Myler (knee) and Piers Francis (jaw) also making good progress.
