Luton without international duo for Barnet clash

Promotion-chasing Luton must do without midfielders Flynn Downes and Luke Gambin, who are on international duty, for the Sky Bet League Two match against bottom club Barnet.

Downes, on loan from Ipswich, is away with the England Under-19s, while Gambin has joined up with Malta.

Midfielder Alan McCormack could be in contention again after making a comeback from his calf injury and recovery from a hernia operation as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw at Newport last weekend.

Lawson D’Ath continues his rehabilitation from a knee problem.

New Barnet boss Martin Allen has reduced the squad to just 21 players after returning to the north London club for a fifth time in charge to replace Graham Westley.

The Bees, seven points from safety, have sent Tin Plavotic back to parent club Bristol City, while defender Matthew Briggs has been released and Jordan Nicholson made available for loan, but midfielder Simeon Akinola is part of Allen’s plans.

Mauro Vilhete, though, looks set for an operation on an unspecified injury, which is expected to rule him out for the rest of the campaign, while midfielder Fuad Sule is sidelined by an ankle problem.

Goalkeeper Jamie Stephens (knee) also continues his recovery. Defender Harry Taylor is still out with a broken metatarsal, while Elliott Johnson and Dave Tarpey (both knee) are long-term absentees.
