Barnsley manager Simon Davey could be without up to eight first-team players for his side's Championship home clash with Coventry on Saturday.Jamal Campbell-Ryce has been dealt a blow with confirmation he has fractured his elbow and will now be out for at least a month, while Mounir El Haimour's calf injury is also worse than first thought.

Defender Marciano Van Homoet misses out through suspension following his dismissal at QPR and Bobby Hassell is doubtful due to an ankle problem.

Goalkeeper Heinz Muller, midfielder Anderson De Silva and striker Michael Coulson are all returning from long-term knee ligament injuries and a frustrated Davey is still waiting for international clearance for Argentinian summer signing Hugo Colace.

The Tykes are chasing their first win of the season after defeats at QPR on the opening day and Crewe in the Carling Cup.
