Keeper Richard Wright is out of Town's match at Burnley tomorrow having picked up a knock, joining David Stockdale on the sidelines. Arran Lee-Barrett will come into the starting line-up with Cody Cropper on the bench.
Wright appears to have been one of a number of players manager Paul Jewell said had been suffering with a niggle in the wake of Saturday's home defeat to Reading, the former England man's third debut for the Blues.
The 34-year-old has had little luck with injuries in recent months with both his two appearances for former club Sheffield United last season cut short by a knee problem which required surgery in the summer.
Lee-Barrett will be making his first league appearance since April, although he did play in the Carling Cup defeat to Northampton earlier in the season.
Speaking earlier today, manager Paul Jewell said Lee-Barrett was understandably disappointed when overlooked in favour of Wright at the weekend: "I had a chat with him on Friday. He wasn’t happy about it and I didn’t expect him to he happy about it, but it’s up to Arran to get in to the team, as simple as that.
"He was disappointed. He hasn’t played a lot of football, neither has Richard, but I just felt that Richard has been outstanding in training, and that’s what I said to Arran.
"Arran’s obviously hugely disappointed but that’s my decision. I don’t pick a team on sentiment, I pick a team on what I see Monday to Friday or what I feel might be right and that’s what I felt was right on Saturday.”
With Stockdale still out with his shoulder injury, Lee-Barrett now has the chance to show his manager he was wrong not to look to him at the weekend.
Stockdale tweeted that he hopes to be back in action at Playford Road this week and sent a message of support to his latest understudy: "Hoping to do some more training this week, so back soon. Sure Arron will show his doubters wrong! Good luck ALB!"
Cropper, an 18-year-old US U20 international, was previously on the bench for the Northampton match in the Carling Cup but is yet to make his first team debut.
Meanwhile, Burnley have announced that there will be a minute's applause prior to tomorrow's game in tribute to Gary Speed.
