JUNIOR Stanislas and Lloyd Kelly are both set to miss Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Southampton due to injury.
Kelly was absent from last night's 3-0 victory over Swansea City, while Stanislas was withdrawn during the first half.
Asked for an update on Stanislas, boss Jonathan Woodgate told the Daily Echo: "Hamstring injury."
Quizzed on if it looked like a serious problem, the head coach added: "No, I don’t think so. He won’t be fit for Saturday."
Discussing Kelly's absence from the squad, Woodgate said: "Adductor strain. He won’t be fit for Saturday."
The pair join a growing list of absentees for the visit of Saints to Vitality Stadium, with a semi-final spot at Wembley up for grabs.
Adam Smith is set to miss out due to an ankle problem suffered in defeat to Barnsley on Saturday, while David Brooks has not yet recovered from his own ankle complaint.
Lewis Cook is ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery, while Jefferson Lerma will be suspended having picked up two yellow cards earlier in the competition.
Loanee Shane Long is cup-tied and unable to face his parent club.
