Central defender Yerson Mosquera will be permanently absent after suffering a serious knee injury during the defeat at Aston Villa last weekend.

O’Neil said: “He’s a great kid and I’m devastated for him. It is a great loss for us. It’s a big blow for the team, but it offers opportunities for others. Alfie pond for example, is now one step closer. He has a chance.”

Enso González, Sasa Kalajdzic, Bastien Meupiyou And Boubacar Traore are all offside for the hosts.
