Centre-back Ben Turner (knee and ankle) and full-back Marcus Hall (knee) both missed Tuesday's fightback at high-flying Watford and the pair are again absent for the eagerly-anticipated lunchtime clash at the Ricoh Arena.
Defender Martin Cranie came on as a 69th-minute substitute at Vicarage Road and may get the nod from the off this time around as manager Chris Coleman looks to shore up his rearguard with experience.
Defender James McPake and midfielder David Bell remain the only other absentees as they continue their lengthy recoveries from respective shoulder and ankle injuries.
It remains to be seen who will get the nod in midfield, though, with Aron Gunnarsson preferred ahead of Isaac Osbourne in midweek, with the latter dropping to the bench.
