Luke Steel is in a bad state. Not all the work he put in for club Barnsley is enough for him to stay back. Steele played a major part in helping Barnsley reach the last four with a string of impressive performances during his month on loan.

He starred in the fifth round win over Liverpool at Anfield and kept a clean sheet as Barnsley knocked out holders Chelsea at Oakwell in the sixth round. West Brom goalkeeper Luke Steele looks set to miss out on an appearance at Wembley after Albion and Barnsley failed to reach an agreement on his future.

Steele is due back at The Hawthorns after talks about extending his loan at Barnsley to take in the Tykes’ FA Cup semi-final against Cardiff next month broke down.

Barnsley boss Simon Davey has admitted he is searching for alternative signings, meaning Steele faces being frozen out of the semi-finals despite having links to two of the clubs taking part. A sorry state of affairs for the chap. A real pity even after such a commendable performance.
