Patrick Roberts will undergo a scan today to determine the extent of a hamstring injury.
Roberts was forced off in the closing stages of the Lads’ midweek clash with Huddersfield Town.
Head Coach Micheal Beale said: “It’s obviously a real sore one for us to take because we tried to manage his minutes. We were managing a calf (injury) and then he managed to get a hamstring (injury).
“It is a miss but it’s a big chance for Romaine Mundle to step up now. Abdoullah Ba has played well in that position.”
Meanwhile, Callum Style is pushing to be in contention for this weekend’s trip to Birmingham City as he steps up his recovery from appendix surgery.
“It was Callum’s second full session today so we will have to see” Beale added. “By next week, he will be 100 per cent so will have to see whether he makes the bench and how much he can play.”
