Queens Park Rangers will assess midfielder Jordan Cousins (hamstring), while forward Idrissa Sylla is close to a comeback after groin trouble.
Defenders Steven Caulker (hip) and Jack Robinson (hamstring) are doubts, but forward Jamie Mackie is training again after a long-term ankle injury.
Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker remains a doubt with a groin injury.
But manager Steve Bruce has no new fitness concerns following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by Norwich.
Rangers are aiming to end a run of four straight defeats, while Villa are looking for only their second away league win since August 2015.
