Bernabe, who has made three appearances for the first team this season, turned out twice for Paul Harsley’s side in February and was instrumental in our 4-2 win away at Arsenal.
The Spaniard hit the back of the net in each half, either side of his assist for Jayden Braaf, as he moved onto five goals for the campaign.
Bernabe is up against Tony Gallacher (Liverpool), Teddy Jenks (Brighton & Hove Albion), Oisin McEntee (Newcastle United), Xande Silva (West Ham United), Yannick Toure (Newcastle United).
