League One promotion hopefuls Barnsley have delivered some positive news this afternoon after revealing that striker Kieffer Moore has been discharged from hospital.

The big striker was taken to hospital following a heavy fall in the Reds' 4-1 win at Gillingham yesterday, with many fearing he has sustained serious injury.

However, the club's website has released a statement to say Moore is now out and at home resting, with the Reds fans no doubt hopeful of the former Rotherham and Ipswich striker making a speedy recovery as they look to maintain their run at promotion.

Moore has been a key figure for Barnsley this season, smashing in 16 goals and leading the way as the South Yorkshire side look to regain their Championship status at the first attempt.

The win at Gillingham yesterday kept the Reds three points clear of third placed Portsmouth in the third tier, and the confidence will be ever growing at Oakwell that they can indeed return to the second tier under manager Daniel Stendel.

Getting Moore back fully fit and on the pitch will be key to the Reds maintaining their form and run at the top two, and the update from the club will be good news all around.

The Verdict

This is fine news for all involved, especially Moore, who would be devastated to miss the season run in.

If Barnsley want to keep challenging, then there is little doubt that the big striker is going to be key to ensuring any success.
