Lucciano Becchio is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, American Mike Grella will be hoping to deputise after scoring two in the reserves in midweek.
Scunthorpe United
Striker Kayode Odejayi goes straight into the squad after joining on loan from Barnsley.
Cliff Byrne returns after suspension whilst David Mirfin serves the second game of his two match suspension.
Ben May (ankle), Michael Lea (hamstring), Marcus Williams (metatarsal) and Kenny Milne (knee) all remain on the sidelines.
