Early team news: Barnsley v Port Vale

The Reds are boosted by the return of five players, including winger Chris Shuker and midfielder Jacob Burns who are back after suspension.

Daniel Nardiello, Tony Vaughan and Michael Boulding are also back in contention after injury but Paul Hart may stick with the side who beat Bournemouth last Saturday.

Neil Austin and Stephen McPhail are the only players still out injured.
