Cardiff City will welcome back Perry Ng after the right back missed out against Huddersfield Town last Friday night.
The right back has been excellent since joining from Crewe back in January and his return will represent a big boost to Mick McCarthy in this tough fixture.
While Lee Tomlin and Jordi Osei-Tutu are both making steady returns, neither will be fit enough for this weekend. McCarthy said Osei-Tutu needs two under-23s games under his belt before making a return to first-team action, so he is not due back until April and Lee Tomlin is still quite away of from being fully fit.
Joe Bennett underwent his operation on Friday following his ACL injury, he is likely to be out between six and nine months, while Joel Bagan saw a specialist on Friday, too, to ascertain whether he needs surgery following his dislocated shoulder.
Max Watters has been omitted from the last two squads but has scored four goals in two games for the under-23s in that time and it is likely McCarthy will welcome him back into the fray.
Isaac Vassell remains a long-term absentee for City.
