Poya Asbaghi is unsure if Callum Styles will be available for Barnsley's Championship contest against Bristol City after the midfielder missed Saturday's 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Asbaghi revealed that Styles picked up an injury following the Tykes' 1-1 draw against Stoke City in midweek but is hopeful the 21-year-old will not be ruled out long-term.

He could make his return to the side as early as Tuesday night but is likely to be back for the trip to Sheffield United.

"He had a reaction after the game against Stoke," explained Asbaghi.

"It is not a long-term thing. Let's see if he can come back in the next game. If not then, the game after against Sheffield United."

Barnsley picked up a valuable point against table-topping Fulham as Carlton Morris's first-half penalty was cancelled out by Harry Wilson's late strike.

There was controversy surrounding the decision to award the hosts a penalty as Morris was adjudged to have been fouled by Tosin Adarabioyo, who was booked for the challenge.

"I’ve seen the moment 15 times, and I can’t see one moment where Tosin makes contact with the player inside the box," said frustrated Fulham boss Marco Silva.

"I don’t understand why he took so long to decide whether it’s a penalty or not. It’s difficult for us to understand."

Asbaghi said of the incident: “I haven’t seen the penalty situation past but Carlton passed him and it looked to me that the defender was pulling his shirt.

"I wanted a red and and I would prefer that – to play so long with 11 against ten – than have a penalty.”
