Yakabu blow for Bees

Barnet will be without new first team captain, Ismail Yakabu for the 1^st round Carling Cup tie at Norwich City's Carrow Road ground. The 22 year old centre back could be out for up to a month, placing further strain on Paul Fairclough's slimline Barnet squad. Former PROTEC youngster, James Cole could make his senior debut at Norwich, with summer signing, Sagi Burton taking over as captain. Another option could be to move Joe Devera to centre back, where he stood in last season for Yakabu and play new assistant manager, Ian Hendon at right back.

Barnet also have a doubt about new striker, Anthony Thomas, who was substituted late on at Morecambe on Saturday.
