Leicester City are assessing Darius Vassell, who did not train on Monday because of a tight hamstring.
Fellow forward Steve Howard has missed the last two matches with an ankle knock and he will also be monitored to see if he can play.
MATCH PREVIEW
Leicester's brilliant run has seen them shoot up the table to one place outside of the play-off spots, and a victory against Cardiff on Tuesday would take them to within one point of the Welsh club.
As Leicester have been charging their way into the thick of the promotion race, Cardiff have been trying to stay in it, and the Bluebirds' defeat against Nottingham Forest on Saturday was a big setback for them.
Forest moved up to second after that result, leaving Cardiff in fourth - six points behind leaders Queens Park Rangers - although a return to winning ways could well put them back into the top two.
Leicester's win against Bristol City last time out was their fifth consecutive victory. And on-loan Everton striker Yakubu's first-half opener was his sixth goal in four matches for Sven-Goran Eriksson's side, who have lost only one of their last 10 league games.
