Exeter's injury problems have eased for their EFL Cup tie at home to high-flying Hull.
Defender Troy Brown returned from thigh trouble on Saturday as Exeter won 2-1 at Accrington to record their first League Two victory of the season.
Joel Grant has recovered from a calf problem and veterans Matt Oakley and David Wheeler should also be available.
Striker Robbie Simpson will also be fit after taking a bang on the head at Accrington.
Hull caretaker manager Mike Phelan expects to add Harry Maguire to his threadbare squad.
Maguire returned to training last week after an ankle injury but was not risked for Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win at Swansea.
Shaun Maloney should start after scoring and setting up Abel Hernandez late on at the Liberty Stadium.
Phelan is also expected to turn to some of his youngsters in Devon with Josh Tymon, Greg Olley, Josh Clackstone, Jarrod Bowen and Greg Luer all hoping for an opportunity.
