Troubled Tykes depleted by bug

24 April 2009 09:45
Barnsley's have been hit by a virus which has left Stephen Foster, Darren Moore and Adam Hammill doubtful for the home clash with Wolves.Tykes skipper Foster missed the midweek draw at Coventry and fellow centre-half Moore and winger Hammill, on loan from Liverpool, have since been taken ill with the same sickness bug.Defenders Bobby Hassell and Rob Kozluk have both been struggling this week with knocks sustained at the Ricoh Arena on Tuesday, but manager Simon Davey is hopeful they will be fit.Striker Michael Mifsud, on loan from Coventry, is back in contention after missing out against his parent club on Tuesday.Davey must decide whether to retain Luke Steele in goal or recall German Heinz Muller, who was dropped two games ago.The Tykes are two points better off than third-from-bottom Norwich with two games remaining, with six clubs fighting to escape the final relegation spot following the Football League's decision to deduct 10 points from Southampton for going into administration.[LNB]
