The Irishman was on the way back from a calf injury but suffered a setback in training on Tuesday.
He will join leg-break victim Scott Severin, who will be on the sidelines for the rest of the season, in the stand.
Apart from those two boss Peter Houston has a full squad to choose from.
Motherwell have no fresh injuries for the clash.
Shaun Hutchinson is on course to return from an ankle problem immediately after the international break.
Long-term injury victim Steven Saunders (Achilles) is the only other absentee.
