Defender Glenn Loovens serves a one-match ban for his sending off in the defeat at Derby.

Barnsley defender Adam Jackson is set for a spell on the sidelines after tearing his posterior cruciate ligament in the defeat by Hull.

Angus MacDonald could come back in place of Jackson while winger Lloyd Isgrove could make his first appearance this season.
