Exeter midfielder Lee Holmes could make his first start since the opening day of the season against Notts County.
Holmes has been on the bench for the last two games since recovering from a foot injury, but he played a key role on Saturday by scoring the opening goal in the 10-man Grecians' 2-0 win at Stevenage.
Jordan Moore-Taylor, sent off in the first half at Stevenage for a professional foul, serves his one-match ban and Jack Stacey could slot into defence with Troy Brown and Troy Archibald-Henville still out.
Joel Grant (foot) and David Wheeler (hamstring) are close to full fitness and boosting manager Paul Tisdale's attacking options.
Notts County are sweating on the fitness of top scorer Jon Stead, who is nursing a hamstring problem following the win over Leyton Orient.
Magpies manager John Sheridan will give the in-form striker as long as possible to prove his fitness, but he does have Adam Campbell and Vadaine Oliver champing at the bit should Stead miss out.
Alan Smith still has the hip injury that has ruled him out recently but he is making progress.
Curtis Thompson is still out of action with a long-standing ankle problem and is not expected to be ready for another two or three weeks.
