Michael Brown has not recovered from a bruised ankle and will not play in the Barclays Premiership clash against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Papa Bouba Diop is expected to be in the squad following his thigh injury but he is unlikely to be in the starting XI, with Carlos Bocanegra deputising again in midfield.
Philippe Christanval and Mark Pembridge are back in training but short of match-fitness, while Simon Elliott remains sidelined.
Team (from): Niemi, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Queudrue, Boa Morte, Bocanegra, Volz, Jensen, Radzinski, McBride, Boa Morte, John, Lastuvka, Helguson, Zakuani, Routledge.
