Tony Gallimore, Dean Gorre and on-loan striker Jonathan Walters are missing for Barnsley with knee injuries.
Paul Warhurst is likely to return after missing the FA Cup defeat at Scunthorpe because he was cup-tied.
Tony Caig will make his Reds debut in place of the 'not' sacked (according to chairman Peter Ridsdale) Sasa Ilic who will not play again for Barnsley before his contract expires on 7 February.
Tykes Mad is disappointed the excellent Sasa is leaving in such circumstances.
