Barnet will be without two central defenders for the visit to Dagenham & Redbridge in the JP Trophy this evening.

Captain Ismail Yakubu, who missed the trip to Chester on Saturday, could now be sidelined for two to three weeks, due to a recurrence of his groin injury.

And new signing Jeremy De Magalhaes, who made his debut at Chester, is also ruled out for the trip to Victoria Road.

He has also picked up a groin injury, and could be missing for about a month.

It means manager Paul Fairclough may have to recall Ashley Carew at right-back, with Joe Devera moving to the centre to partner Michael Leary. However, Devera also needs a late fitness test himself, though the Bees are hopeful he will pass that.

Kenny Gillet has completed his three-match suspension and will probably come straight back in at left-back, though there could still be a place for loan signing Aswad Thomas, possibly in a wide midfield role.

Meanwhile, keeper Ran Kadoch is set to make his debut.

Fairclough will be looking for a response from his players following Saturday’s 5-1 drubbing at Chester.
