Nathan Baker is a doubt for Aston Villa's first home game of the Sky Bet Championship season against Rotherham.
The defender came off with a head injury in their 3-1 EFL Cup defeat at Luton on Wednesday and will be assessed.
Ross McCormack is likely to make his home debut after signing from Fulham for B#12million and is chasing his first goal after two scoreless games.
Tommy Elphick, Pierluigi Gollini and Aaron Tshibola are also in line for their home bows after signing in the summer.
Rotherham will be without skipper Lee Frecklington as he will miss the next two weeks with a calf injury.
The midfielder limped out of last weekend's season opener against Wolves with the problem and is set for a short spell in the treatment room.
Kirk Broadfoot (hamstring) and Joe Mattock (knee) also came off against Wolves but are expected to be fit.
Boss Alan Stubbs, who is set to include new signing Darnell Fisher in his squad, is hoping to bring in two players in time for the Millers' first league meeting with Villa since 1972.
