Adam Proudlock will undergo a late fitness test before Sheffield Wednesday boss Paul Sturrock decides who starts in attack for the Yorkshire derby against Leeds.
The Owls striker missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Leicester with an ankle injury sustained in a reserve game last week and is still trying to shake it off.
Defender John Hills, who signed from Gillingham in the summer, is available for selection once more after returning from suspension but faces competition from Maurice Ross for a starting role.
Winger Richie Partridge is still doubtful with a thigh strain, while centre-half Drissa Diallo is a long-term casualty and is out for up to eight weeks with a similar injury.
Boss Kevin Blackwell has no fresh injury or suspension worries ahead of the game.
Leeds came through the 3-3 draw with Brighton on Saturday with no casualties to report but Blackwell could still ring the changes, with his defence looking off the pace against the Seagulls' speedy frontmen.
Sean Gregan, who scored an own goal in the draw, could lose his place at centre-back with 21-year-old Matthew Kilgallon a likely replacement.
Two-goal David Healy has shown no reaction to the thigh injury he picked up while on international duty with Northern Ireland and could be partnered from the start with recent signing Richard Cresswell, who impressed as a substitute on Saturday.
Jonathan Douglas, who is on loan from Blackburn, could also feature after shining in the midfield as a substitute to score a 90th-minute leveller to earn Blackwell's men a point to maintain their unbeaten home record this season.
