Millwall defender Shaun Hutchinson could make his first appearance for two months in the Sky Bet Championship game with Wigan.
Centre-back Hutchinson has not featured since August 22 due to a knee injury but returned to the squad as an unused substitute at Reading on Saturday. mStriker Tom Bradshaw is pushing for a start having played the final six minutes at the Madejski Stadium.
Midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe and Jiri Skalak and forwards Steve Morison and Aiden O'Brien could also come into the Lions' team, should manager Neil Harris opt to make changes.
Wigan boss Paul Cook may name an unchanged team for the trip to The Den. The Latics have no fresh selection concerns following Saturday's 1-0 win over high-flying West Brom.
Midfielder Darron Gibson is unavailable once again as he is in the middle of a three-match ban following his red card against Preston before the international break. Injured trio Will Grigg, Michael Jacobs and Gavin Massey (all hamstring) remain unavailable, while defender Dan Burn could made his 100th Latics appearance in all competitions.
