PRESTON boss Kelham O'Hanlon faces a defensive headache ahead of this afternoon's crunch game at Barnsley.
Rob Edwards limped off during Preston's home win against Portsmouth on Saturday and centre half Chris Lucketti also has a gashed ankle.
With Colin Murdoch and Michael Jackson - the regular centre-halves - still out of action Rangers loan teenager Paul Reid will probably get called up, with Adam Eaton in for Edwards.
O'Hanlon claims his side have nothing to lose as they look to boost their promotion bid with a win against Barnsley.
He said: "We are still in it and we're going to give it our best shot.
"We're coming up on the rails and we've got nothing to lose because we're the ones that are chasing."
