Barnsley boss issues Luca Connell and Jamie McCart updates and hails stand-ins after win over Bristol Rovers

Both have been key figures for the Reds this season and set tongues wagging with their absences when the team to face the Gas was named. Speaking after the match, Collins put minds at ease by assuring both have small strains.

He said: “He's [Luca Connell] out with a very small strain so could be available for Tuesday [against Carlisle United]. We're protecting him because we need him at 100 per cent. Jamie McCart's quite similar, small strain.
