A white shirt hung up in a changing room with Montsma 4 on the back

Lewis Montsma came back into the Imps starting XI as one of four changes made by head coach Michael Skubala at Barnsley.

Montsma comes into the defence in the absence of suspended captain Paudie O’Connor. Adam Jackson took the captain's armband against his former club.

Ethan Hamilton, Tom Bayliss and Freddie Draper also return to the side.

Head coach Michael Skubala said: "We want to be aggressive in the middle of the pitch with or without the ball, we want Ethan Hamilton to get the ball moving in there.

"It's going to be really competitive in the middle of the park. We want the frontline to show energy and desire, pressing at times and to try and get in behind. In transition we want to be quick and see if we can hurt them in behind."

Tom Hamer (injury) and Joe Gardner (suspension) were named on the bench.

Imps line-up: Jeacock, Darikwa, Montsma, Jackson, Bayliss, Hamilton, McGrandles, Jefferies, House, Roughan, Draper. Subs: Wickens, Hackett, Hamer, Clucas, Collins, Makama, Gardner.
