Player-boss Davids out for Bees

Edgar Davids will be missing for Barnet when they host Fleetwood.

The Bees' player-boss was sent off against Accrington on Saturday and serves a two-match ban for what was his second red card of the season, the first also coming against Stanley in back November.

On-loan MK Dons defender Tom Flanagan came on for his debut towards the end of the 3-2 defeat so he could now make the starting line-up.

Midfielder John Oster and striker Craig Beattie returned after spells out with hamstring injuries at the weekend and should feature again barring any adverse reaction.

But Steve Kabba remains sidelined by a knee problem and fellow frontman Ricky Holmes' season is over due to a foot injury.

Fleetwood will be without midfielder Paul McKenna for the trip.

McKenna was sent off during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Plymouth after picking up two yellow cards and will now miss the game against the Bees through suspension.

The Hull loanee was also dismissed for his parent club against Doncaster in August so will serve a two-match ban.

Cod Army manager Graham Alexander may also be made to do without forward Steven Gillespie and defender Dean Howell.

Gillespie has missed the last three games with a hamstring strain, while Howell has been ruled out of the last two matches with a leg injury.

Both are major doubts again against Edgar Davids' side as the visitors look to end a poor run which has seen their play-off hopes dented after picking up just one win from their last seven games.
