Accrington Stanley vs Barnsley - Offrande Zanzala closing in on fitness for Accrington
Posted Friday, November 16, 2018 by PA
Accrington boss John Coleman is hopeful Offrande Zanzala could make his return from injury against Barnsley this weekend.
The in-form striker missed last weekend’s FA Cup victory over Colchester with the leg problem he suffered against Coventry earlier this month.
If Zanzala is fit, only Andy Mangan and Harvey Rodgers would remain unavailable, and both should be fit to return to training in the next couple of weeks.
Captain Seamus Conneely has not returned to the starting line-up in the league since recovering from the groin injury that ruled him out for a month and may again have to make do with a place on the bench.
Barnsley have a potential goalkeeping problem, with Jack Walton a doubt because of a knee issue.
The 20-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday’s Checkatrade Trophy win over Bradford and is being monitored by the club’s medical staff.
First-choice keeper Adam Davies is away on international duty with Wales and there is no realistic prospect of him being recalled, so Barnsley are also looking at emergency loan options should Walton not be fit.
Defender Adam Jackson was sent off during the Checkatrade clash but is available for the League One match.
