Forward Steven Fletcher has a bruised foot, and manager Mick McCarthy will assess his fitness today.

Defender Jelle Van Damme is described by McCarthy as a "serious doubt" after twisting his ankle, Steven Mouyokolo may also miss the match with a damaged hamstring, while Dave Edwards is out with a groin injury.

However, last season's to scorer Kevin Doyle is set to return from a calf injury which kept him out of the team's opening day win over Stoke.

Provisional squad: Hahnemann, Foley, Craddock, Berra, Van Damme, Jarvis, Henry, Jones, Ward, Fletcher, Ebanks-Blake, Doyle, Stearman, Mujangi Bia, Edwards, Mouyokolo, Halford, Guedioura, Milijas, Keogh, Elokobi, Hill, Hennessey.
