by There are no new injury concerns for hikers – but Steven Schumacher challenged those who come to the side against Sheffield on Wednesday to take the opportunity.
Schumacher made five changes to Plymouth Argyle at the weekend and his selection paid off when the whites secured all three points.

The head coach wants to build a profit habit in all competitions, but has a difficult trip to Barnsley on the weekend.
“We will make changes and I think that’s important. I have the players all the time so that we will all need,” he said.
“I don’t have a starting eleven. I made five changes on the weekend and we managed to get three points from it.
“Everyone has to be ready to play, such as Ethan WEHAHON, who came into the squad late, it will be a brilliant opportunity for him to have his first start and show everyone what he is about.

“There will also be others who get opportunities to play because I want to keep them all fresh, I want to motivate everyone and bring everyone up to date.”
The trip to Oakwell on Saturday looks hard on paper after Barnsley started the campaign with victories against Burton and Plymouth.
Schumacher added: “As I said, we made five changes on Saturday. So if we make another five, people cannot say:” They made a lot of changes because they do not appreciate the cup. “
“We appreciate every single competition in which we are in and every game we want to win. We are competitive and want to try to get through the Carabao Cup if we can.

“But I also have an eye on the fact that we have a game on Saturday, a big game from home to a team that has won both games so far.
“It is not an easy place to go and I have to make sure that the squad is physically and mentally prepared for all games.
“We cannot burn people if it is not necessary if we have others who absolutely want to play.”
The devices will be fat and quick in the opening month of the season, with another game against reading next Wednesday evening.
“It is a busy month, August, and if we also play on Wednesdays, we don’t have much time to rest,” the boss admitted.

“It’s pretty much six days a week, so we have to make sure that we take care of the boys we have to take care of.
“Those who have played a large number of minutes must be aware of whether they can go again because I asked the team to play this year – and the intensity in which we want to run – it is not possible to do it with 11 players, so I have to use the entire squad.”
