Midfielder Valon Behrami broke his front tooth against the Silkmen but should be fit to play, while George McCartney has made his comeback from a virus.

Craig Bellamy has been out with a hamstring injury but was considered a possibility earlier in the week. Kieron Dyer (broken leg), Jonathan Spector (hip), Danny Gabbidon (stomach), James Tompkins (leg) and James Collins (knee) are still out.

Provisional squad: Green, Behrami, Davenport, McCartney, Upson, Neill, Faubert, Parker, Noble, McCartney, Etherington, Ashton, Cole, Bellamy, Lastuvka, Reid, Bowyer, Spence, Boa Morte, Mullins, Sears, Widdowson, Hines, Spence.
