Brentford will have Romaine Sawyers back from a one-match suspension for the Sky Bet Championship match against Sheffield United at Griffin Park.
Fellow midfielders Lewis Macleod and Alan Judge returned to the starting XI for Saturday's home defeat by Middlesbrough, leaving boss Thomas Frank with a selection poser.
Defender Rico Henry made a welcome return to action after a lengthy injury lay-off following a serious knee problem with a late substitute appearance, so should be involved again. Wingers Said Benrahma and Ollie Watkins continue their respective recoveries, along with midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo (ankle).
Sheffield United have no fresh injury concerns following Saturday's 2-2 draw at Rotherham. Blades boss Chris Wilder indicated he could opt to make changes after his promotion-chasers failed to see out victory when conceding in stoppage time.
Striker Leon Clarke and midfielder Marvin Johnson both came off the bench against the Millers and could be in contention. Midfielder Paul Coutts, forward Conor Washington and defender George Baldock, who were unused substitutes on Saturday, offer other options should Wilder look to freshen up his starting XI.
