Sheffield Wednesday will be without suspended midfielder Sam Hutchinson for the home game against Fulham.
Hutchinson received his fifth booking of the season in Tuesday night's goalless draw at Bolton and will sit out a one-game ban so Lewis McGugan is expected to return to the squad after being omitted for the last two matches.
Goalkeeper Kieren Westwood could return to the starting line-up in place of teenager Joe Wildsmith after recovering from a side strain that had sidelined him since mid-August.
There will be a minute's silence before kick-off and both teams will wear black armbands in tribute to former England and Wednesday goalkeeper Ron Springett, who died last week.

Fulham will be without Ryan Fredericks for the game at Hillsborough.
The defender, recently recruited from Bristol City, is unavailable having sustained a hamstring injury while defenders Shaun Hutchinson and Nikolay Bodurov will be assessed.
Striker Matt Smith is nearing a return after his knee problem but Saturday's match comes too soon, and midfielder Scott Parker is still not yet ready for the first-team as he continues his recovery from ankle surgery.
Fulham are looking for a third straight league win after beating Rotherham and Blackburn in their last two outings.
