Luton worried about Rea-guard as defender Glen misses out

Luton could again be without defender Glen Rea for the Sky Bet League One match against Barnsley.

Rea has not featured in the Hatters’ last two matches because of a knee issue.

Alan McCormack came into midfield for Saturday’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Walsall, where promotion hopefuls Luton had been chasing an eighth straight league win.

Goalkeeper Harry Isted was named on the bench in place of Marek Stech, who was out with an unspecified fitness issue.

Barnsley remain very much in the promotion shake-up themselves after a 2-1 home win over fellow top-six hopefuls Charlton.

Mamadou Thiam started in attack ahead of Kenny Dougall, and rewarded the faith of manager Daniel Stendel with his first goal since October.

Top scorer Kieffer Moore, though, could come back into contention after missing the last two games because of illness.

The Tykes are otherwise not expected to have any fresh injury worries ahead of the trip south.
