Drinkwater back at Tykes

by Setanta Staff , 06 January 2012

On-loan Manchester United midfielder Danny Drinkwater is set to return to action for Barnsley in the FA Cup third-round visit of Swansea.


The 21-year-old has rejoined the Tykes on loan until the end of the season after his original four-month loan came to an end earlier this week.

Drinkwater had missed the last four matches with a thigh injury but is set to come back into contention to face the Premier League side.

The return of Drinkwater has boosted the Barnsley midfield following the news that skipper Jacob Butterfield will be out for the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the New Year's Eve win over Leeds.

Fellow midfielder Jim O'Brien remains on the sidelines with a stomach muscle problem.
