The record signing was suspended for the midweek defeat at Wycombe, which saw Calvin Zola suffer a hamstring injury.
The striker, on loan from League Two rivals Crewe, now faces up to six weeks on the sidelines.
Greg Pearson, Zola`s replacement on Tuesday night, could be recalled for his first start since February 1.
Scott Malone missed out at Adams Park after pulling a thigh muscle in training and remains a doubt, while fellow defender Nathan Stanton was absent due to personal reasons and it remains to be seen whether he will return.
The versatile Aaron Webster is pushing for a recall.
