Full-back McGowan came off in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Walsall with a hamstring injury and is set to be unavailable for some time.

Midfielder Sowerby was also forced off in the second half of that game with a knee problem.

Louis Appere, signed on transfer deadline day from Dundee United, will make his home debut after claiming the weekend winner by saying he got the final touch on Mitch Pinnock’s free-kick.
