David Templeton a doubt for Burton ahead of Barnsley clash

Posted Friday, April 05, 2019 by PA

Burton could be without David Templeton as they host second-placed Barnsley in Sky Bet League One on Saturday.

The Scottish winger injured his knee in the 5-2 win at home against Accrington and remains a doubt.

Some of the Burton squad have also had illnesses, with midfielder Stephen Quinn among those who have taken some time off, but all are expected to be fit.

Nigel Clough has no fresh injuries to contend with as his side look to consolidate their position in the top half of the table.

Barnsley could have defender Daniel Pinillos back in contention as Daniel Stendel’s side look to extend their 20-match unbeaten record.

The left-back has missed the last three fixtures with an eye problem but returned to training last week.

On the long term injured list, midfielder Kenny Dougall suffered a broken leg against Doncaster and is out while top goalscorer Kieffer Moore, who sustained a head injury, remains unavailable for the rest of the season.

The Tykes head to Burton looking for three points with both Portsmouth and Sunderland waiting for any opportunity to move into the automatic promotion places, as both sides have games in hand over the South Yorkshire outfit.
