Barnsley will be without suspended skipper Stephen Foster for Monday night's derby clash with Sheffield United at Oakwell.

Central defender Foster received his fifth booking of the season in last week's win at Peterborough and subsequently serves a one-game ban.

Manager Mark Robins will choose between either Bobby Hassell or O'Neil Thompson to step up and partner Darren Moore in Foster's absence.

Robins has no other new injury or suspension problems and is unlikely to make too many changes to last week's line-up.

Jon Macken and Daniel Bogdanovic hope to spearhead the Tykes' attack once again after both scoring at Peterborough.

But Iain Hume will be keen to return to the starting line-up versus the Blades, against whom he fractured his skull in November last year.
