Simon Davey may have to stick with misfiring pair Kayode Odejayi and Miguel Mostto against Preston and possibly Blackpool after fellow striker Istvan Ferenczi has been ruled out of his sixth game in a row with a persistent ankle injury.
The Hungarian was forced off with the injury after just 15 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Cardiff on the 29th September and hasn't returned since.
Head Physio Richard Kay told www.barnsleyfc.co.uk:
"We have sent Istvan Ferenczi for a scan on his injured ankle. Hopefully it will be more for piece of mind and we are expecting to see only bone bruising.
"Whatever the outcome Istvan will not be fit for this weekend's game with Preston North End".
