Right-back Ross Millen will miss out with a hamstring injury which saw him forced off during the friendly against Lincoln.
Iron boss Neil Cox also confirmed forward Aaron Jarvis is also still working on his fitness, so will not be in contention.

Right-back Kaine Kesler Hayden and striker Tyreece Simpson, on loan from Aston Villa and Ipswich respectively, are set to make their first appearances.
Ben Gladwin will make his fourth debut for the club after signing a one-year deal at the County Ground, while new signing Harry McKirdy is also pushing for a start.
