Lisbie still sidelined for Bees

Barnet will still be without Kevin Lisbie when they host Northampton.

The veteran striker remains sidelined with the hamstring injury he suffered during Barnet's final pre-season friendly and boss Martin Allen says he is "coming on slowly".

Allen will hand a few of his players late fitness tests following their exertions in Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Wycombe.

Forward Michael Gash came on as a substitute despite needing eight stitches in a head wound against Millwall the previous Tuesday and should be involved again.

Northampton defender Zander Diamond is the only injury doubt ahead of their trip on Tuesday night.

The 31-year-old Scottish centre-back hobbled off with an apparent injury in the first half of their 3-0 win against Exeter on Saturday.

Summer signing Rod McDonald will look to make his full league debut in place of Diamond as the Cobblers look to continue their unbeaten start to the new season.

Other than Diamond, boss Chris Wilder will have a fully-fit squad to chose from.
