The Preston midfielder was sent off for two bookable offences during Saturday's 3-0 win at Bristol City and sits out with a one-match ban.
With Jimmy Abdou still sidelined with an ankle problem, boss Kenny Jackett finds himself short of options in midfield so defender Scott Barron could be pushed forward with Andy Frampton returning to the back four.
Versatile defender Tony Craig is still building up his fitness following a double metatarsal fracture and striker Shaun Batt is a long-term absentee with a knee injury.
Chris Hackett, Marc Laird and summer signing Tamika Mkandawire could start if Jackett opts to make changes.
