Barnsley vs Doncaster Rovers preview - Tykes strong for Robins test

Posted Friday, September 26, 2014 by PA

Barnsley manager Danny Wilson has a clean bill of health for the visit of former club Swindon.

Wilson, who spent just over two years in charge at the County Ground from 2008, has no injury or suspension problems as the Reds chase their first league win in five matches.

Strikers Sam Winnall and Kane Hemmings are both pushing for recalls to the starting line-up after being named on the bench in last week's defeat at Port Vale.

Midfielder James Bailey (hamstring), who made his first appearance since mid-August off the bench last week, could play a bigger part while teenager James Bree is in contention for his third league appearance of the season.

Yaser Kasim looks set to return to the Swindon line-up when they make the trip.

The Iraq international served his one-match ban for accruing five yellow cards against Newport in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy victory at Rodney Parade on Tuesday night and now looks set to step back into Mark Cooper's side.

He looks set to be joined in the side by a number of players including goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, who was rested as Ty Belford was handed a start, while Raphael Branco's groin injury will be monitored.

Ben Gladwin (ankle) has returned to training but this match comes too soon for the midfielder while Jack Stephens could be available having recovered from a bout of tonsillitis.
