Oxford will check on midfielders Herbie Kane and Mark Sykes as they prepare to finish their League One campaign by hosting Doncaster on Saturday.
Kane came off at half-time in the 2-1 loss at Rotherham last weekend due to a thigh problem, and Sykes then followed in the second half because of a hamstring issue.
Sam Baldock is closing in on full fitness after a knee injury but James Henry, Alex Gorrin and Jamie Hanson are sidelined.
The Rotherham game left Karl Robinson’s eighth-placed U’s unable to make the play-offs.
Doncaster, who are all but relegated, have been monitoring Mipo Odubeko ahead of Saturday’s contest.
The forward, having scored in each of the previous two matches, missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over Burton due to illness.
Tommy Rowe remains unavailable, with the midfielder set to undergo hernia surgery.
Gary McSheffrey’s second-bottom Rovers are three points adrift of safety with a goal difference 27 worse than 20th-placed Fleetwood.
