Striker Daniele Dichio is latest casualty after picking up a knock during Saturday's clash against league leaders Wigan Athletic. He will undergo a late fitness test to see if he can play any part in tonight's game against Coventry City as The Lions looks for their first home win in 2005.
Speaking to the club's official website, Wise tried to remain optimistic.
"Fortunately we've got Barry Hayles back from injury, but the unfortunate thing now is that Dich is injured.
"He's not looking very good and will have to have a fitness test before the Coventry game. It's a problem that we could do without, but if he is ruled out then someone else will have to come in like Mark Quigley or Bob Peeters."
The good news for Wise is that midfielder David Livermore is available once more after serving a three-match suspension but loan signing Andy Impey will once again start on the bench due to a lack of match fitness.
