Midfield pair Liam Kelly and Callum O’Hare are getting closer to returns after hamstring tears but it is unclear whether either play will recover in time for Saturday’s fixture.

Brazilian-born midfielder Gustavo Hamer will miss out as he serves the third match of his four-game ban for his sending off in last month’s goalless draw with Birmingham City.

City haven’t conceded in their last three league games. Former Bradford City stopper Ben Wilson is expected to keep goal again on Saturday.
