Redknapp has recovered from his thigh injury and Barmby has shaken off his ankle injury.

Confirming the news earlier today, acting boss Phil Thompson said: "Both these players will give us an extra dimension to our game and it's great to have the pair of them back. It was their first full day of training with the first team. They are hoping to be able to play their first match in a week or so."
