Jamie Stephens could return to Barnet goal against Carlisle

Barnet could recall fit-again goalkeeper Jamie Stephens for their Sky Bet League Two clash at home to Carlisle.

The 23-year-old has yet to feature this season after undergoing stomach surgery but has recovered and could come in to replace Josh Vickers.

Michael Gash has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury but Jamal Campbell-Ryce could be back after a calf complaint.

Defenders Ben Pearson and Gavin Hoyte are still missing for the Bees, who remain unbeaten in the league.

Carlisle will have to manage the effects of their midweek epic against Derby, which they lost after 120 minutes and 32 penalties.

Manager Keith Curle will check for signs of fatigue but has options to freshen up his starting XI.

Midfielders Reggie Lamb and Jason Kennedy both sustained knocks in the previous match and, having not featured against the Rams, will be hoping to be available.

Striker Charlie Wyke scored as a substitute on Tuesday and is angling for a return alongside fellow forward Jabo Ibehre.
