Barnes had achilles soreness flare up last week while Moorcroft has a corked thigh.“Both will be tested. I think Barnes will be okay at this stage,” said football manager Matthew Drain. “Moorcroft is probably more available than Barnes, but we haven’t really trained them so it’s a matter of having a look tonight. Barnes has had an ongoing achilles problem for a while and just having to carry the ruck the last few weeks himself, where in the first six or seven games he hardly played, he’s really struggled to come up during the week. It flared up at training basically.”
Drain said Mark Mercuri and Blake Caracella would be tested also. “Mercuri is probably less likely than Caracella. We’ll hopefully have a test of them this week and have a look, but Caracella’s probably more of a chance.”
