Hatton was forced out of the attack after just 3.5 overs against Lavington.
The injury had a major impact as he conceded 15 wides.
“Yeah definitely, he’s had back problems before, but when he’s fully fit, he’s pretty unstoppable,” captain Matt Crawshaw said.
The Patties have just the one win and are coming off a 107-run loss against Lavington, which posted 6-242.
“Last week we bowled 18 wides in the first eight overs, so obviously you’ve got to bowl three extra overs and it puts you on the back foot pretty quickly,” he said.
Hatton will see a chiropractor before the match and Crawshaw admits the team needs him at his best if it’s to contest finals.
