Barnsley vs Coventry preview
Friday 29 March 2019 14:58, UK
Promotion-chasing Barnsley will have goalkeeper Adam Davies back from international duty along with midfielder Ryan Hedges for the League One match against Coventry.
Davies and Hedges were both away with Wales, playing in the friendly against Trinidad & Tobago. Left-back Daniel Pinillos will also be in contention again, having missed the last two matches with an eye problem.
Midfielder Kenny Dougall suffered a broken leg against Doncaster and leading goalscorer Kieffer Moore remains unavailable for the rest of the season due to a head injury.
Coventry are again likely to be without Conor Chaplin as they look to keep up in the race for the play-off places. Midfielder Chaplin has not featured since mid-February because of an ankle problem.
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins confirmed Chaplin was now back out on the grass in training but "not close enough" to be considered for a return to first-team action. Robins had selected an unchanged XI for last weekend's home defeat by Oxford, while forward Max Biamou and midfielder Jodi Jones both continue their recovery from knee problems.
