Newly-appointed Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock could give debuts to his four new signings in the Severnside derby against Bristol City.
Marouane Chamakh, Kieran Richardson, Sol Bamba, Junior Hoilett will all be assessed before the game on Friday.
Bristol City right-back Mark Little may return following a hamstring problem.
Forward Lee Tomlin is available after a one-match ban, while striker Tammy Abraham is expected to start after his brace for the England Under-21 side.
Neil Warnock
“When they get vocal at Cardiff it’s as good as anything I’ve heard in the game.
“I’ve been thrilled with the response [from fans], and I’m excited for Friday. There’s a little bit of trepidation obviously, but I just think at this stage of my career I’ve just got to do the best that I can.
“Let’s progress together.”
Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:
"There is no better pantomine baddie is there, than Neil Warnock, and I say that lovingly. Do I want to get involved in that? No, I want to be fully focused on my team.
"There's some serious history between the two clubs and that's the fun bit I suppose - only if you win.
"Cardiff are always a tough side, normally technically decent, and this game will be no different.
"It's got the potential to be a really good game and we want to make sure it's not a damp squib."

I bet Fred still couldn't score
It could be the start of something quite good.
Amos, Peltier, Bennett, Morrison, Bemba, Ralls, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Hoilett, Noone & Lambert.
Whitts in the hole? Could be good.
Had totally forgotten about Bennett

Disgusting behaviour.Bamba exposed twice already

Brizzle possession like last season's game - be interesting to see how Warnock combats it....
Whitts!!(excuse my delayed celebration)
Joe Ralls is playing better than in recent matches.
Confidence?
Home town decisions on demand isn't it?
Penalty from an offside guy.
Thuggery pulling our players down going unpunished.
We will be too good second half.
You do look an awful side.
