Midfielder Will Hughes is at risk of missing the next match due to an ankle injury sustained in the victory against Southampton at the end of December.
Adam Wharton, another midfielder, has also been sidelined with a groin injury since early November and may also miss this match.
In addition, Matheus Franca is continuing his recovery from a rib injury, which has kept him out of action for the past few months.
On Stockport's side, not only have they lost their top scorer Barry, but they are also facing difficulties as two of their loaned players have recently been recalled by their parent clubs.
Tyler Onyango, on loan from Everton, had to return to Goodison Park following a hamstring injury, while Michael Mellon was recalled by Burnley and subsequently moved to Bradford City on loan after a brief four-game stint at Stockport's Edgeley Park.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Stockport football match prediction
An early exit from the FA Cup seems to have become a familiar part of Palace's "history" in recent years; however, the team has also experienced moments of triumph in this long-standing competition. For example, they reached the semi-finals in 2022 and finished as runners-up in 2016.
This season has not started well for Oliver Glasner's team, as they have suffered 5 defeats and 3 draws in their first 8 league matches.
However, since then, they have only lost 2 of their next 12 matches, and most recently they showed signs of a resurgence with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
Despite improving their form, the home team has only managed 4 wins in the league this season and is currently only a precarious 5 points above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
One major problem for Palace is their ineffective attack, with only three teams scoring fewer than their 21 goals in the league this season.
With opponents from League One visiting this weekend, the home side will be looking to regain their attacking confidence. On the other hand, their opponents are also brimming with confidence as they aim for further promotions after winning the League Two title last season.
Stockport climbed to third place in the league table at the end of November, but a recent disappointing run of form with only two wins in eight games has seen them drop outside the play-off zone.
The biggest driving force behind County's rise is probably the goals of Louie Barry, who still leads the league's top scorer list with 15 goals, despite his recent recall by Aston Villa.
Filling the void left by Barry will undoubtedly be a significant challenge, and going into a cup match without their most dangerous attacking threat will certainly make the task of beating a Premier League team much more difficult.
The Hatters are struggling away from home this season. While their away record isn't the worst in League One, they've only managed a meager three wins in their league away games.
To advance to the next round, they will have to end their poor run of form with their first away win since November. Under the guidance of Dave Challinor, Stockport have suffered three defeats in their last four away games.
If successful, it would be the first time since 2001 that they have reached the fourth round of the tournament. That year, Stockport were eliminated in the fifth round after a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
In contrast to their opponents, the visitors had to play two matches to reach the third round, securing their place in the next round with home wins against Forest Green Rovers and Brackley Town.
