Farke revealed at Friday’s pre-match press conference that Bournemouth loanee winger Jaidon Anthony was "50-50” to feature against the Robins after rolling his ankle.
Anthony was handed his full Whites debut in Wednesday evening’s 1-0 win at home to QPR in which he replaced the benched Dan James but James now comes back into the side as Anthony drops to the bench.

Jamie Shackleton (shoulder), Junior Firpo (hip), Djed Spence (knee), Willy Gnonto (ankle) and Stuart Dallas (femoral fracture) were already confirmed as being out.
Farke was also planning to take a late call on Sam Byram as to whether the 30-year-old full-back would be able to take in a third game in a week but Byram starts, possibly at right back with Struijk a possibility to line up at left back.
Struijlk captains the side in the absence of both club captain Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling who are both on the bench.
