Coventry keeper Keiren Westwood needs a fitness test on a back problem but will not be risked against Crystal Palace.
Westwood has missed two games after suffering the injury against West Brom and is 50:50 to face the Eagles at the Ricoh Arena.
If he fails to make it, Dimi Konstantopoulos will deputise again in goal while captain Stephen Wright is touch and go after flu.
Ben Turner (ankle) and Isaac Osbourne (knee) look set to miss out but Richard Wood is available and in line for his debut after joining the club on loan from Sheffield Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Jordan Clarke is banned while Sammy Clingan is not ready yet after a broken toe.
