    Barnsley head coach Lee Johnson is hoping on-loan Arsenal teenager Dan Crowley is fit for the home game against Gillingham.

    Midfielder Crowley has missed the last two games due to a thigh injury but is expected to return to contention.

    Winger Ryan Williams remains sidelined following a setback in his recovery from a troublesome groin injury, but otherwise Johnson will select from a full-strength squad.

    Striker Michael Smith is pushing for his first start for the club since arriving from Swindon, while teenage defender James Bree and midfielder Jack Rothwell are pushing for recalls.

    Gillingham have no new injury worries for the trip, and have some positive news on loanee Deji Oshilaja.

    Signed from Cardiff, Oshilaja is yet to feature this month due to a knee problem, with Max Ehmer deputising.

    However, manager Justin Edinburgh confirmed Oshilaja was back in training and would be in line for a recall in early October.

    "He is close to getting back," Edinburgh told Gills Player. "He's back on the training ground, which is a plus. We're hoping to get him back to full training. Fleetwood (September 29) might be a bit too soon. For Oldham (October 3) he will be in contention."
