Barnsley hope to have top scorer Kieffer Moore available for Saturday's Sky Bet League One home clash with Charlton.
The forward, scorer of 11 league goals this term, was not involved on Boxing Day due to illness as the Tykes won 2-0 against Peterborough.
The result made it seven points for Barnsley from their last three matches.
Daniel Stendel's men are fifth in the table, a point behind fourth-placed Charlton with a game in hand over them.
Charlton are set to be without Joe Aribo once again.
Aribo missed the 2-1 Boxing Day loss at Coventry because of an injury picked up in the previous match, last Saturday's 2-0 win over Gillingham, and boss Lee Bowyer said after the game at the Ricoh Arena that the midfielder will be "out for a little while".
That contest also saw George Lapslie sustain a cut on his head and Bowyer was not expecting him to be available for the trip to Oakwell.
Defender Naby Sarr is a definite absentee as he completes a three-match suspension.
Charlton will be visiting Oakwell in the league for the first time since August 2013, with the Addicks coming from two goals down to draw 2-2.
Barnsley are without a win in their last three home league games against Charlton (D2 L1), including a 6-0 drubbing in April 2013.
Barnsley are yet to lose at Oakwell in League One this season (P11 W6 D5 L0), one of three sides yet to lose on home soil in the competition this season (also Luton and Sunderland).
Charlton's 2-1 defeat at Coventry last time out ended their three-game winning streak in League One, last losing back-to-back matches in the division in October.
Charlton have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of their League One games this season (eight) than any other team.
