Rotherham have several players returning for the game against Fulham where Sky Bet Championship relegation is likely to be confirmed.
The Millers' drop to League One will be sealed if they fail to beat the Cottagers or if Burton, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City pick up a point.
Defenders Darnell Fisher (hamstring), Richard Wood (ankle) and Stephen Kelly (Achilles) are all available, giving interim boss Paul Warne some depth.
Joe Mattock completes his two-match ban but there should be a home debut for on-loan striker Carlton Morris.
The Millers are the first second tier side to concede 87+ goals after 38 games since Stockport in 2001-02 (88).
No second tier side has ever won fewer than 17 points from 38 games (3 pts/win) than Rotherham in 2016-17 and Stockport in 2001-02.

Scott Parker's back problem could keep the former England midfielder out for Fulham.
Chelsea loanee Lucas Piazon is still on the road to recovery after breaking his jaw last month.
Tom Cairney, Chris Martin, Tomas Kalas, Neeskens Kebano and Stefan Johansen have all returned unscathed from international duty.
Dennis Odoi may have earned a start after scoring moments after coming on as a substitute in the 3-1 defeat at Wolves a fortnight ago.
Both sides have found the net in each of the last six league meetings in Rotherham, with both sides also sharing two wins (D2).
The Cottagers have won five of their last eight league games against the Millers, drawing the other three.
Tom Cairney has assisted more league goals in 2017 than any other Championship player (7).
Fulham have won 22 points from losing positions this season, the most in the division and 20 more than Rotherham (2, a league-low).
