Southend United will have striker Lee Barnard and midfielder Alan McCormack available for Saturday's trip to Yeovil Town.

The pair sat out last weekend's FA Cup defeat against Gillingham through suspension.

But after completing their one match ban for accumulating five yellow cards, the duo will return to the starting line-up at Huish Park.

However, Blues boss Steve Tilson has doubts over the fitness of left-back Johnny Herd.

Herd was subbed during the defeat at the Priestfield Stadium with a hamstring problem a week ago.

Although scans this week have confirmed that the 20-year-old has not torn the muscle Saturday's match against the Glovers may come too soon.

Osei Sankofa (knee) and Jean-Yves M'Voto (hip) both remain sidelined through injury.
