Yakubu out for rest of the season

Last updated : 15 April 2008 By Jaybee

Barnet captain, Ismail Yakubu is out for the rest of the season with a groin problem. Paul Fairclough has also said that it is unlikely that Rob Beckwith will play again this season as well and youngster, Phil Carpenter is likely to be on the bench tomorrow for the match at Rochdale.

Joe Devera and Neal Bishop will have late fitness tests and Fairclough has extended the loan of Jordan Parkes from Watford until the end of the season to cover the problem caused by so many injuries to defenders. Kenny Gillet is probably still a week away from fitness. Michael Leary is expected to continue at centre back alongside Sagi Burton and to retain the captaincy in the absence of Ismail Yakubu.

For Rochdale, Adam Rundle faces a fitness test for a knock, while Lee Thorpe misses tomorrow's game through injury.
