Latest team news before Hereford game

Last updated : 17 August 2007 By Jaybee

Bees' manager Paul Fairclough has announced that he may have to bring in some loan players to cover the club's problems with injuries and the suspension of midfield player, Neal Bishop who faces a three match ban following his straight red in the 5-2 carling Cup defeat at Norwich on Tuesday.

Barnet's slim 18 man first team squad is down to 15 as apart from Bishop, skipper Ismail Yakubu and striker, Giuliano Grazioli are both out through injury. With Yakubu likely to be out for up to a month, a replacement would appear urgent with only assistant manager, Ian Hendon and untried youngster, James Cole available as cover.

New boys Max Porter, signed from Bishops Stortford, and Stephane Seanla, signed from Watford will be both vying for the vacant midfield spot if Fairclough fails to bring in any new faces before Saturday's home game with Hereford United. 18 year old winger, Danny Hart, who impressed during pre season games and scored at Histon, could be in line for a squad call up. Hart played for Ryman Premier League club, Boreham Wood last season.
