Fulham striker Andy Johnson is a doubt after picking up a slight hamstring injury in training.
Mousa Dembele (ankle) and Bobby Zamora (leg) are also out which could mean Diomansy Kamara is given his third start of the season.
Rafik Halliche (thigh), Frederik Stoor (groin), and Phillipe Senderos (Achilles) are also unavailable.

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash at Fulham on Saturday.
Midfielder Craig Gardner's ankle problem is improving although he is not ready to return at Craven Cottage, while number two keeper Maik Taylor is also making good progress with his shoulder problem.
He is likely to be available for the Carling Cup quarter-final with Aston Villa next Wednesday when Ben Foster's current back-up, Colin Doyle, will be cup-tied.
Striker James McFadden remains City's only long-term absentee with his knee ligament injury.
