Jake Hyde, Elliot Johnson and Ross Jenkins have all been ruled out of tonight’s match due to illness.

The three players all fell victim to a virus yesterday and have not recovered in time to face Fleetwood Town. 

The trio started in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Accrinton Stanley and the news comes as a bitter blow to the Bees who will also be without the suspended Edgar Davids. 

Hyde, the club’s top scorer, and youngster Johnson have been instrumental for the Bees this season and on loan Jenkins will also be missed after scoring his first goal for the club on Saturday.
