Sheffield Wednesday skipper Rob Jones will return to the side for the FA Cup fourth round replay against Blackpool.
Central defender Jones, sidelined for the last four games due to an ankle injury, will step in for Blackpool loanee Miguel Llera, who has already appeared in the competition for Brentford this season.
Mike Jones, a recent signing from Bury, is another who is ineligible and latest new recruit, John Bostock, is also cup-tied having made his only appearance for Tottenham this season in the FA Cup.
Midfielder Chris Lines, strikers Ryan Lowe and Clinton Morrison and defender Lewis Buxton are among those who will be hoping to return to the starting line-up.
Manager Gary Megson has no new injury or suspension problems, although defender Reda Johnson, currently on nine yellow cards, is walking a suspension tightrope.
