Burton sweat on injured duo

Burton will check on defenders Aaron Webster and Ryan Austin ahead of the visit of struggling Barnet.

Webster and Austin were both ruled out of last weekend's 2-0 win over Macclesfield after picking up knee injuries in training. In their absence Patrick Ada and fit-again Tony James were recalled alongside Nathan Stanton in a back three. Skipper John McGrath is still out after undergoing a foot operation and striker Billy Kee continues his recovery from groin surgery. Goalkeeper Kevin Poole will be hoping for a run-out, possibly as a late substitute, after announcing he will retire at the end of the season at the age of 48. Burton could relegate a second team in just a week after sending Macclesfield down last Saturday.
