Flu still affecting Barnet

Barnet football club are still having problems with illness in their squad. On Saturday they play Hereford United at Underhill.

Ismail Yakubu missed training today suffering with influenza and physiotherapist Mark Stein joined him as the latest victim of the bug. However four players, who had reported flu symptoms and missed training on Tuesday, did report in for training.

Meanwhile Hereford United's Marc Pugh is reported by BBC Hereford and Worcester to be 50/50 for the game as he has an abductor strain.

And Jamie Tolley is also a doubt. He suffered minor injuries in a car accident earlier this week.

Manager John Trewick, who watched Barnet last Sunday, told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he is hopeful the Bulls can continue their recent good form.

"They've had a good start to the season for the size of the club.

"I guess a lot of people would say, at this stage, that they are over-achieving but they've got some good players, players with pace.

"We know all about them and know what we have to do, hopefully, to get a result."
