Bees on look-out for loan signing, Moore to return for Brewers

Barnet boss Mark Stimson is hoping to bring in a loan striker ahead of Saturday's visit of Burton. Steve Kabba was stretchered off during the opening-day defeat at Chesterfield and it was initially feared he had suffered a broken leg. Kabba has only damaged knee ligaments, however, and Stimson is hoping to boost his attacking options while the experienced striker is sidelined. Right-back Joe Devera missed the midweek Carling Cup defeat at Swansea with a leg injury and is rated 50-50. Youngster Reece Yorke, who has been sidelined with a kneecap injury, was due to return to training on Friday.

Burton news

Darren Moore is set to return to the Burton side after missing the midweek Carling Cup defeat at Cardiff. The veteran centre-back had a slight knee niggle and is expected to be able to return at Underhill. Record signing Russell Penn could be asked to play his third different role in three matches as boss Paul Peschisolido looks for a first win of the season. Penn started last week's 0-0 draw against Oxford on the right of midfield and switched to right-back at Cardiff because of Andy Corbett's thigh injury and he will play up front on Saturday. Corbett remains sidelined but central defender Tony James will move across to full-back.
