Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic will ring the changes for the EFL Cup visit of Bristol City.
Youngsters Dennis Adeniran and Luca de la Torre are set for another run-out, having played in both previous rounds.
The likes of Scott Parker and Kevin McDonald will be rested while Jesse Joronen could once again replace David Button in goal.
Floyd Ayite and Ryan Fredericks are out with ankle injuries.
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson could hand debuts to defender Taylor Moore and striker Gustav Engvall - respective arrivals last month from Lens and IFK Gothenburg - at Craven Cottage.
Johnson is expected to make several changes from the side that drew 1-1 against Derby on Saturday, with fit-again Adam Matthews and Korey Smith also appearing on course to feature.
Defender Joel Ekstrand, who is with City until the end of the season following his release from Watford, is likely to play a part as City face the first of two games in four days against Fulham.
The second encounter - a league clash at Craven Cottage next Saturday - will see a probable return from injury of Joe Bryan, who went off against Derby with a leg problem and is unlikely to be risked in the cup tie.
Charlie Nicholas' prediction
These are two teams who have a habit of scoring goals. Bristol City have actually surprised me so far and look quite bright. Lee Johnson has got them organised and believing in themselves.
This will be a tight game and I can see it going the distance.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: Fulham 1-1 Bristol City, City to win on penalties (11/1 with Sky Bet)
