Bobby Hassell should return to the Barnsley line-up for the South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield United at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon.
Hassell: Has recovered from a dead leg
|
The midfielder missed last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace with a dead leg, but he has trained this week and is fit to face the Blades.
Luke Steele will once again take his place in goal after his on-off switch from West Brom was finally resolved.
The Tykes' FA Cup hero has completed a loan move back to Oakwell, with a view to signing a permanent deal at the end of the season.
With a full week of training behind them following a hectic fixture schedule, the FA cup semi-finalists have a full-strength squad as they look to pull clear of the drop zone.
