Defnsive crisis

Emmerson Boyce was hopeful of returning from the broken ribs he suffered during the 1-0 win against Manchester City, but now must wait until the beginning of May.

David Unsworth suffered a groin strain and Fitz Hall picked up a knee injury. Paul Scharner had to move to centre back during the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

If injuries fail to clear up, Scharner could see himself start alongside Matt Jackson, whilst forgotten man Andreas Granqvist could make a rare start.
