Fulham manager Scott Parker could continue to rotate his squad for the Carabao Cup third-round match against Sheffield Wednesday.
In the previous round against Ipswich, Parker handed debuts to Alphonse Areola, Kenny Tete and Antonee Robinson.
This time, Ola Aina could be in line for his first appearance since joining on a season-long loan deal from Torino.
If Parker does decide to shuffle his pack on Wednesday, captain Tom Cairney could be in contention to start having been on the bench for Fulham’s last two matches .
Monk completely changed his starting XI to play against Rochdale in the second round, and youngsters such as Ciaran Brennan, Liam Shaw and Alex Hunt could feature again.
In a further boost for the Wednesday manager, young defender Osaze Urhoghide started for the under-23s on Tuesday in his first match since suffering a knee injury in February.

Bobby Decordova-Reid scored for the second successive match as Fulham eased to a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday to set up a fourth-round tie with local rivals Brentford.
Reid, who was on target in Saturday’s 4-3 loss at Leeds, slotted in Josh Onomah’s centre to double the hosts’ lead in the 32nd minute at Craven Cottage
Aboubakar Kamara had put the Premier League side on course for a relatively comfortable evening against lower-league opposition by turning home Anthony Knockaert’s ninth-minute pass.
Scott Parker’s side will make the short journey to the Brentford Community Stadium in the last 16, a repeat of last month’s Sky Bet Championship play-off final.
Wednesday, the last club from outside the top flight to lift the League Cup following victory over Manchester United at Wembley in 1991, produced a spirited display in west London but never seriously threatened to spring a surprise result.
Garry Monk’s Championship team carved out a handful of first-half chances, with Adam Reach, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Moses Odubajo each denied by home goalkeeper Marek Rodak.
Manager Parker made seven changes for the tie, retaining Denis Odoi, Kamara and former Owls loanees Michael Hector and Onomah from the weekend defeat at Elland Road and allowing star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic a night off.
While the home side’s main priority is remaining in the top flight, Wednesday face an uphill battle to stay in the second tier.
The Owls, who began the new campaign on minus 12 points as punishment for breaching financial rules, made a single alteration to the second-string team which started at Rochdale in round two, handing a senior debut to boyhood fan Liam Waldock in midfield.
Monk’s men had not conceded in their opening four matches but that impressive run of clean-sheets was brought to an abrupt end.
Knockaert broke clear of the visitors’ backline before calmly teeing up Kamara for a simple close-range finish past the stranded Joe Wildsmith.
Reach stung the palms of Rodak from distance with 22 minutes played, while the unmarked Dele-Bashiru later wasted a golden chance by sidefooting straight at the Fulham goalkeeper after good work from Odubajo.
Owls keeper Wildsmith conceded five times on this ground in a 5-3 defeat just two months ago and he was picking the ball out of his net again 13 minutes shy of the break.
Minutes after repelling a powerful drive from Antonee Robinson, the former England Under-20 stopper was unable to prevent Onomah’s fizzed delivery from the left being diverted in at the back post by Reid.
Wednesday wing-back Odubajo tested Rodak either side of half-time but the away team faded in the second period and spent most of it attempting to keep the scoreline respectable.
Reid was denied his second of the evening by the legs of Wildsmith after breaking clear.
Knockaert, a player who has caused Wednesday plenty of problems in the past, then skewed wide when well placed, before clipping the top of the crossbar with a speculative chip from distance.
The 18-year-old winger, on in place of Knockaert, came close to a dream maiden outing but his lobbed effort landed narrowly wide as Fulham comfortably secured a fourth-round spot for the first time in six seasons.
