Birmingham City are without right-back Mario Melchiot (thigh) and midfielder Muzzy Izzet (hamstring) for the Premiership clash with Fulham at St Andrew's.
The duo were injured during the 2-1 home defeat to West Ham on Monday.
Olivier Tebily is set to replace Melchiot with Neil Kilkenny coming in for Izzet, while Walter Pandiani is set to return after illness. Martin Taylor (ankle) is hoping to be fit.
Fulham are missing suspended midfielders Luis Boa Morte and Papa Bouba Diop.
Club captain Boa Morte picked up a red card against West Brom last Saturday - Steed Malbranque, who has been struggling all week with a tight hamstring, will take the captain's armband - while Diop has accumulated five yellows.
Defender Phillippe Christanval is available following his hamstring trouble but Claus Jensen (groin) and Moritz Volz (ribs) are out.
Birmingham squad: Vaesen, Maik Taylor, Tebily, Upson, Cunningham, Clapham, Pennant, Jarosik, Kilkenny, Butt, Dunn, Clemence, Gray, Johnson, Lazaridis, Heskey, Pandiani, Birley.
Fulham squad: Warner, Crossley, Rosenior, Bocanegra, Christanval, Knight, Goma, Pearce, N Jensen, Elrich, Legwinski, Malbranque, Radzinski, McBride, John, Helguson.
