Barnsley v Cardiff preview

Team news ahead of Saturday's Championship clash between Barnsley and Cardiff at Oakwell.

Barnsley pair Rob Edwards and Scott Golbourne are hoping to prove their fitness in time for the game.

Edwards sustained a dead-leg in Monday's draw at Blackpool, while Golbourne was struggling with an unspecified knock that kept him out.

But Keith Hill could be boosted by the return of Matt Done, following a hamstring strain, and Bobby Hassell, who has been sidelined with a knee injury.

Midfielders David Perkins and Jim O'Brien should be included in the squad despite suffering from "fatigue" after the two Easter weekend games having only recently returned from injury.

Skipper Jacob Butterfield (knee) and goalkeeper Luke Steele (abdomen) remain sidelined as the Tykes chase three more points to guarantee their safety following a poor run of just one win in 11 matches.

Cardiff, meanwhile, will continue their pursuit of a Championship play-off place against Barnsley without midfielder Craig Conway.

Conway was substituted after 38 minutes of the Bluebirds' 1-1 draw with Watford on Easter Monday following a challenge from Jonathan Hogg, amidst fears he had broken his ankle.

Scans have since shown there is no break, but the 26-year-old has torn ankle ligaments, ruling him out of action for up to three months and therefore the remainder of the season.

Bluebirds manager Malky Mackay has two other injury doubts ahead of the trip to Oakwell.

Striker Joe Mason is rated touch and go for the clash with a groin strain while fellow forward Rudy Gestede is struggling with a hip problem.
