Harrogate Town could be without one of their attacking players for Tuesday night's National League trip to Barnet.

Huddersfield Town-loanee Kian Harratt pulled up in training on Monday, and the striker may now have to sit out in North London.

"Everyone is fine other than Kian, who we'll have to have a look at," Harrogate boss Simon Weaver revealed.

"He pulled up in training with a tight muscle, so that is going to need to be assessed."

Harratt's temporary stay at Wetherby Road was only recently extended until the end of the season, the 17-year-old having initially joined Town on a one-month loan in mid-January.

If he does miss out, his absence could potentially open up a way back into Weaver's plans for ex-Shrewsbury forward Sam Jones, who hasn't made a match-day squad since November.

Second-placed Town were initially due to tackle Barnet on Saturday, however the fixture was postponed due a waterlogged pitch and then hastily re-arranged.

Weaver’s men lost 1-0 on their last visit to The Hive, in March, but won the most recent meeting between the two sides courtesy of strikes from Jack Muldoon and George Smith.

The Bees currently sit 13th in the table, though they have been in excellent form of late.

They went down 1-0 at Solihull Moors last time out, but were unbeaten in 12 matches prior to that.
