Barnet captain Ismail Yakubu has been rated "50-50" to return against Wrexham after missing the last four games with a hip muscle injury.Bees physio Mark Stein confirmed that 22-year-old Yakubu would be assessed on Friday to check his availability. In his absence the Bees have lost two away games by three-goal margins and conceded 10 goals.

Striker Cliff Akurang and goalkeeper Rob Beckwith remain a fortnight away from a return from hamstring injuries.

Winger Jason Puncheon is pushing for a starting berth after coming on as a half-time substitute in the 3-0 defeat at Macclesfield on Monday.
