Defender Ryan O'Leary dislocated his shoulder against Hibernian on the opening day of the season, causing him to miss last weekend's draw with St Mirren, and he will be out for at least six months.
Tim Clancy (ankle), Rhian Dodds (hernia), Allan Russell (knee) and Alan Morgan (thigh) are back in training but the game at Rugby Park has come too quickly for all of them.
Kilmarnock (from): Combe, Fowler, Wright, Ford, Hay, Invincibile, Bryson, Fernandez, Pascali, Sammon, Taouil, Hamill, Rascle, Lilley, Skelton, Flannigan, McInnes, Simmonds.
