Ran Kadoch, the 22-year-old Israeli goalkeeper who had to come off with a thigh injury 33 minutes into his Football League debut for Barnet at Lincoln City, has had "a slight setback".

The goalie, whose only other appearance was in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge, made a comeback in the behind-closed doors game against Ebbsfleet second string this week and finished limping.

Physiotherapist Mark Stein said: "It's not as bad as it was initially. Perhaps a bit of stiffening - hopefully he will be OK in three or four days".

Stein's other "patient" in the treatment room, 24-year-old Frenchman Jeremy de Magalhaes, is back from France and his right groin injury "has improved a lot".

Left sided central defender de Magalhaes is still a month away from a return to action but the physio is hopeful that he will be jogging and running again next week.

de Magalhaes was injured on the training ground two days after his League debut in the 5-1 defeat at Chester City.
