Woodrow facing late fitness test for Barnsley

Barnsley are monitoring Cauley Woodrow ahead of Saturday’s Sky Bet League One clash with Rochdale at Oakwell.

Having scored, the forward then came off in the first half of the 4-1 win at AFC Wimbledon last weekend due to a leg problem.

Elliot Simoes could be involved after joining from FC United of Manchester on Monday, and Jordan Green will hope to make his debut – he was an unused substitute at Kingsmeadow, the day after the Tykes recruited him from Yeovil.

Jack Walton is still unavailable as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

Defender Ryan McLaughlin is set to make his Rochdale bow.

The right-back was signed from Blackpool on Wednesday following the departure of Joe Rafferty to Preston.

Luke Matheson will be looking for further involvement after the 16-year-old was handed his maiden league appearance when coming on as a substitute in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Fleetwood.

That result brought a first point in five outings for Keith Hill’s Dale, who are 20th in the table. Barnsley lie fifth.
