Barnet have a wealth of injury problems for the FA Cup second-round replay against Accrington Stanley, who could be missing Robert Grant.

Bees manager Ian Hendon's problems are so severe that he only has four fit first-team defenders available for the tie in Ahmeed Dean, Ismail Yakubu, Daniel Leach and Kenny Gillet.

Fellow stoppers Gary Breen, Clovis Kamdjo, Joe Devera, Ryan O'Neill and on-loan Calum Butcher will again miss out through injury.

Winger Albert Adomah is on crutches after sustaining an ankle injury during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bury while Mark Hughes, arguably the club's best player so far this season, is suspended due to his stoppage-time red card at Gigg Lane.

Elliot Charles is cup-tied having featured for Ebbsfleet in an earlier round, and Craig McAllister has been refused permission to play in the competition by his parent club.

Dean Sinclair will be assessed by Barnet's medical team having missed training last week due to flu.

Accrington news

Accrington could be without top scorer Grant after he was substituted in the 79th minute of the 4-2 victory over Torquay on Saturday with a leg injury.

He faces a late fitness test and, should Grant miss out, on-loan Billy Kee would take his place alongside Michael Symes in attack.

Midfielder John Miles serves the final game of his three-match ban following his red card against the Bees two weeks ago.

On-loan Liverpool keeper Dean Bouzanis is likely to start ahead of Ian Dunbavin after impressing Stanley boss John Coleman in his past two league games.

Winger Chris Turner remains sidelined for the next two weeks with ankle ligament damage and defender Leam Richardson's groin injury will keep him out until January.
