Barnsley injury list in full ahead of derby clash against Leeds United

Leeds United will look to get their Championship campaign back to winning ways after they return from the international break with a trip to South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley this weekend.

Marcelo Bielsa takes the Whites down the M1 to face Daniel Stendel's side at Oakwell, with last year's League One runners-up winless since their opening day victory over Fulham.

The Tykes have struggled to acclimatise to life in the second tier so far but picked up what could be a vital point against Wigan in their last outing before a fortnight off from domestic concerns.

Like United, they too are nursing a handful of injury concerns , with a few long-term lay-offs and a handful of faces looking to make their return to action against the Argentine's side.

Here's who could be back for the hosts - and who is set to miss out on a derby encounter expected to be a fiery one.

Long-term concerns

Stendel will be without goalkeeper Sami Radlinger for at least two more months after the shotstopper picked up a ligament injury against Luton Town that will keep him out to December.

He joins Kenny Dougall on the list of players still not eyeing a comeback, with the Australian still continuing to recover from a broken leg.

Hopeful to feature

Bambo Diaby could be set to return after missing the Wigan encounter following a collision in the loss to Luton, having been assessed during the international break.

Jacob Brown and Cauley Woodrow are both also further expected to be in the mix, though given the former's lengthy lay-off, he is unlikely to be rushed back into action.

Expected to play

Jordan Williams made his return to the matchday squad against Wigan following his spell out of the game and while he was an unused substitute, he is fully tipped to be included once again for the visit of Leeds.
