Kirk Broadfoot remains on the sidelines as St Mirren prepare to host Motherwell in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
The veteran centre-back saw a specialist about a foot injury on Monday and is awaiting a prognosis.
Saints boss Jim Goodwin otherwise has a full squad.
Christian Ilic will again be missing for Motherwell with a hamstring problem.

Turnbull will not be back before the winter break while Dunne is making slower progress than hoped for in his recovery.
St Mirren provisional squad: Hladky, P McGinn, Waters, MacKenzie, McLoughlin, Magennis, Erhahon, McAllister, S McGinn, Flynn, Foley, Andreu, Djorkaeff, MacPherson, Durmus, Mullen, Morias, Obika, Cooke, Lyness.
Motherwell provisional squad: Gillespie, Tait, Carroll, Grimshaw, Mugabi, Hartley, Gallagher, Donnelly, O’Hara, Maguire, Polworth, Campbell, Seedorf, Hylton, Long, Cole, Scott, Carson.
