Barnsley vs Wigan Athletic - Kevin Long back in contention for Barnsley against Wigan
Posted Friday, December 18, 2015 by PA
Barnsley defender Kevin Long returns to contention for the home game against Wigan following suspension.
Long, on loan from Burnley, has served a three-match ban and boss Lee Johnson must decide whether to recall him or stick with Lewin Nyatanga alongside Alfie Mawson at the heart of defence.
Johnson has no new injury or suspension problems and is not expected to make too many changes following last week's win at Colchester.
Winger Ryan Williams returned to the bench as an unused substitute in that match after finally overcoming a troublesome groin injury and is hoping to make only his third appearance of the season.
Chris McCann and Craig Morgan remain absent for Wigan.
The centre-back pair are sidelined due to respective hamstring and groin issues as Latics look to secure their first win in five games.
Midfielder Sean Murray, who had been struggling for game time, has returned to parent club Watford ahead of schedule this week.
The only other absentee for boss Gary Caldwell is Kevin McNaughton, who is still a little way off because of a knee injury.
