Joel Lynch is Huddersfield's only injury absentee as they prepare to welcome Cardiff to the John Smith's Stadium.
The centre-back has missed the last two games with a groin problem and Town boss Chris Powell admitted he had only an outside chance of returning before the end of February.
Midfielder Jonathan Hogg is in contention to start after making his return from an injured thigh off the bench in last weekend's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Nahki Wells was an unused substitute on the south coast but he could play a much more prominent role as the Terriers aim to avoid a third straight home defeat.
Cardiff will hand a fitness test to Fabio before naming their starting line-up.
The Brazilian full-back picked up a calf injury in training and missed the 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Tuesday night and he will be handed a fitness test in the build up to kick off.
Russell Slade, who remains without Anthony Pilkington, Joe Mason and Kagisho Dikgacoi, is unlikely to make too many changes following an encouraging midweek display.
Matthew Kennedy's man-of-the-match display on his debut should see him keep his place along with the recalled Eoin Doyle.

So do I 1 2 to the City
I have a feeling we'll win.
But in reality we'll probably lose
Marshall, Petier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Malone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Kennedy, Doyle, Jones.
How can he not drop Noone! Had such a poor game on Tuesday and he starts. McAleny/Harris or even Revell or O'Keefe should have come in. The rest im happy with Hope Noone can start stepping up.Originally Posted by Zenith wrote on Sat, 21 February 2015 14:01
Whilst its odd to keep Noone in an unchanged side isn't the worst of choices from Slade, I'm pretty happy about to today so I'm going to say a 1 - 0 win! Doyle with his first for us.
I'm happy to give youngsters a break etc but Kadeem Harris is League 2 at best - he really is clueless - Josh Low was better and thats saying something.Marshall, Petier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Malone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Kennedy, Doyle, Jones.
Yeah, from what I've seen of him so far this season harris would not be an improvement on an out-of-form Noone.
I'm happy with the same XI starting. As long as at no point during the game do we end with Jones and Revell on the pitch at the same time again...
I actually don't like or rate Harris but any one else should come in for Noone atm. He doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the starting team and by continuing to start him it's not giving him a push and he's just comfortable getting picked no matter what. Even Fabio on the wing would be a better option.Marshall, Petier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Malone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Kennedy, Doyle, Jones.How can he not drop Noone!

Agree. Noone lucky to be starting after another poor display on Tuesday and I would like to see Fabio given a chance out wide.Marshall, Petier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Malone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Kennedy, Doyle, Jones.How can he not drop Noone!

Trolls OUT!!
Malone's crocked - so that's a bonus.
Sounds like another end to end all out attacking game of football.
Come on city !!!!!
Connolly on, not much other choice really!

We're now playing 4-4-2 with only one fullback capable of going up and down. It might be a forced move but it's not a position I would chose to be in.
Last man send him off
PATHETICMalone's crocked - so that's a bonus.
I think we've had the better of it since the 20th minute.
Are you always such a ****?
Incredible...
