Full-back Dominik Werling has shocked the club by turning down the offer of a contract and it is believed has now left the club.
Werling who has become renowned for his Roberto Carlos like free kicks joined on a six month loan from Turkish side Sakaryaspor in July with a view to a permanent move in January. However it is now thought Werling has turned down the board's contract offer and has returned to Turkey.
The German who has hit 1 goal in 19 appearances for The Reds was not in the squad for Saturday's defeat at Bristol City and seems to have ended his Barnsley career.
This departure is not the only one either in January as today Premier League strugglers Derby County have announced they will recall Lewin Nyatanga and Jon Macken at the end of the month.
Nyatanga has grown in stature during his two spells at Oakwell and formed a noticeable defensive partnership with Dennis Souza whilst Macken, scored his first goal for the club at the weekend.
Derby's new boss, ex Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford gaffer Paul Jewell told the Derby Telegraph:
"We will be bringing Lewin back and I want to give every player the opportunity to show me they are good enough to be here.
"Things can change very quickly in football but I would like them all back to have a good look at them."
Reds boss Simon Davey has already agreed to sign Grasshopper Zurich's attacking midfielder Diego Leon but with this trio of departures and persistent rumours over Heinz Muller and Brian Howard, Mr Davey may have to send out his scouts once more…
Meanwhile the FA has confirmed winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce will serve a one match suspension in the Boxing Day home clash with Stoke City after being sent off for two yellows cards at Bristol City. The second, for diving, left Davey fuming.
From The FA:
JAMAL CAMPBELL-RYCE
BARNSLEY FC
Suspended from all first team football until the Club have completed one first team match for a Sending Off in a match played on 22/12/2007.
