Wolves defender Gary Breen is making good progress in his recovery from flu and should be handed a place in the squad as Mick McCarthy's men look to get their promotion push back on track against second-bottom Scunthorpe.

Wolves v Scunthorpe (19:45 GMT)

Defenders Jody Craddock and Rob Edwards (both hamstring) miss out for the home side, while midfielder Darren Potter is doubtful with a groin injury.

Scunthorpe wide man Ian Morris is a doubt with illness, and striker Martin Paterson will undergo a late test on a hamstring problem.

Colchester v Hull (19:45 GMT)

Colchester youngsters Medy Elito and Anthony Wordsworth are both in contention to start after featuring in the 1-1 draw with Cardiff.

But the Championship's basement club must do without injury victims Teddy Sheringham (foot), Kevin Watson (calf), Pat Baldwin (knee) and Jamie Guy (heel).

Promotion-chasing Hull are bolstered by the returns from suspension of striker Caleb Folan and midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha.

Frontman Craig Fagan picked up an injury on the training ground, and joins defender Wayne Brown on the treatment tables.
