The veteran defender starts a four-match ban after being shown his second red card of the season against Yeovil on Saturday.
Despite claiming the incident, a challenge with Glovers striker Sam Williams, was merely a clash of heads manager Phil Parkinson has opted not to appeal against the decision.
Jonathan Fortune or Miguel Llera will step in alongside Gary Doherty at centre-half.
Striker Joe Anyinsah could return after missing the last two matches with a groin injury, while winger Scott Wagstaff sat out at the weekend through illness and will be checked over.
Full-backs Chris Solly (ankle) and Kelly Youga (knee) remain long-term absentees.
