But manager Gary McAllister has plenty of options, with teenager Aidan White and Ben Parker vying to step up in place of Sheehan, who starts a three-game ban following his straight red card at Swindon last week.

McAllister could also switch Andy Hughes from midfield to left-back.

Leeds are boosted by the return from suspension of Lubo Michalik, who may have to settle for a place on the bench following his late dismissal in the recent home win over Crewe.

Goalkeeper Casper Ankergren could be in contention after returning to full training following an ankle injury this week.

McAllister has no new injury worries and is not expected to make further changes as his side chases a third successive league win.

Kick-off 12.15pm.
