Leon Barnett has boosted the defensive ranks with the news the young centre-half will be fit for Tuesday night's trip to fellow semi-final hopefuls Cardiff (KO 19.45). The former Luton Town man has missed the previous two matches with a slight hamstring strain however has regained full fitness in time for the trip to Wales.

Mowbray said: "Leon trained on Saturday morning and the reports I received said he was very, very good and at full tilt, so he's not holding back on anything.

"Leon's very anxious to get back into the set-up and has trained really hard.

"He's back in almost record time for a hamstring injury so he'll be in the squad for Tuesday night and we'll see if he's got a part to play."
