Phillipe Christanval, Moritz Volz, Kasey Keller, Lee Cook, Ian Pearce, Brian McBride, Simon Elliot and Jimmy Bullard could also miss out too.

Lawrie Sanchez: a great challenge

"It's the biggest ground in the country, they are the champions, and the quality of the players on show is terrific. It's a great challenge, I'm looking forward to it.

"I was lucky enough as a player to walk out of there a couple of times as a winner, so I know what it's like.

"Taking my team back there , my first time as a Premier League manager, I'm looking for us to have a go."
