“I don’t think that there are any other (fresh) injuries from what we have had in the past weeks and the other players are in condition to train.”

On the timescale regarding when Mills will be available for selection again, he added: “No, not yet.”

Barnsley are seeking their first win in 11 home games on Saturday when they tackle Millwall, with the Reds’ last Oakwell success coming way back on November 4.
