The American full-back was suspended for the game at Watford and should come straight back into the first-team to replace Lee Bullen.
Bullen, incidentally replaced Simek for the clash with The Hornets for his first league start of the season but he was taken off early on with a hamstring injury which keeps him out tonight.
Drissa Diallo will be looking to get a full 90-minutes alongside Richard Wood or Graeme Lee in the heart of the defence after he reverted to right-back at Vicarage Road.
Sturrock is looking to add to his squad to provide much-needed cover although the deadline for loan transfers is this Thursday and no players can be brought in until January.
