The Australian suffered an injury issue in training yesterday that has ruled him out of today’s game.
Kim Hellberg has opted to play with three centre-halves, with Luke Ayling joining Dael Fry and Adilson Malanda at the heart of the backline.
Callum Brittain and Matt Targett will play as wing-backs, with Alex Gilbert returning to the starting line-up to bolster the heart of midfield alongside Aidan Morris and Alan Browne.
