Barnet boss Paul Fairclough has injury doubts over defenders Kenny Gillet and Ismail Yakubu ahead of the visit of promotion-chasing Darlington.Injury-prone captain Yakubu returned after missing four games with a hip muscle injury to score in Saturday's 3-2 win over Wrexham but is now struggling with a groin injury and could miss out again.

Left-back Gillet has also had more than his fair share of injury problems this season and is set for a late fitness test on his knee injury after he was forced off in stoppage time against the Dragons.

Striker Cliff Akurang and goalkeeper Rob Beckwith both remain a fortnight away from a return from hamstring injuries as Fairclough prepares for a tough game against the Quakers.

He said: "I would rather be in their position than ours.

They have been consistent throughout and deserve to be challenging.

"But after the disappointment of Macclesfield the lads demonstrated real character and determination to win on Saturday.

Consistency is the name of the game and we have an opportunity here to keep the kettle boiling."
