The captain will miss the match with soreness, but in better news for the Saints inspirational midfielder Lenny Hayes returns.
Justin Koschitzke has also not been selected, meaning his 200th game will have to wait.
Jimmy Webster has been omitted, while Arryn Siposs, Tom Hickey, Ahmed Saad, Tom Lee and Josh Saunders also come in to the extended squad, which will be trimmed to 22 players tomorrow afternoon.
