Barnsley will be without three key players when they take on MK Dons in the second round of the Carling Cup on Tuesday.
Bobby Hassell, Paul Heckingbottom and Martin Devaney are all carrying minor injury complaints and will not be risked, as boss Andy Ritchie wants to ensure they are available for Friday's Championship clash with Preston North End.
Physio Rick Holden told the Tykes' official website: "Bobby Hassell has a tight groin after the weekend and we will not play him against MK Dons just in case it becomes worse and is a problem for Friday night.
"Paul Heckingbottom has a stiff hip and Martin Devaney a slightly sore knee so they will not be risked."
