Yeovil vs Barnsley preview - Twumasi back for Glovers

Posted Friday, August 29, 2014 by PA

Yeovil will be boosted by the return of Seth Nana Twumasi when they host Barnsley.

Boss Gary Johnson has seen his squad stretched in recent weeks but their full-back's availability, having served his suspension for a red card against Gillingham, gives him another option.

But Johnson remains without injured trio Joel Grant, James Berrett and Liam Davis, who are all two weeks away from a return to training. Grant is still suffering with a foot injury he sustained during pre-season, Berrett sustained a thigh problem against Doncaster on the opening day while Davis has a broken hand.

One player who will not be involved is defender Matteo Lanzoni who left Huish Park by mutual consent on Thursday after just two starts for the club.

Barnsley midfielder Dale Jennings is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up after stepping off the bench to score one and make another in last week's win against Gillingham.

James Bailey remains sidelined with the hamstring problem that kept him out last week and although Brad Abbott hopes to keep his place in midfield, Jennings offers boss Danny Wilson an alternative option.

Wilson, who has no new injury or suspension problems, could be tempted to start with Devante Cole, son for former Manchester United striker Andrew and on loan from Manchester City, who also scored after going on as a substitute last week.

The Reds are looking to make it four games unbeaten after climbing up to fifth place in the table.
