The right-back has been recalled early from his loan spell by parent club West Brom so Tom Eastman, Jaime Peters or Troy Brown could come into the side.
Shane O`Connor impressed in a rare start during Town`s last appearance - the snow-affected 3-0 defeat of Leicester on December 18 - but has picked up an injury in training and will miss out.
The left winger is out for six weeks with a ruptured and dislocated shoulder joint so Carlos Edwards looks likely to return.
Captain Gareth McAuley will have to wait until later in January to make his return to first-team action as the centre-half recovers from an Achilles operation.
