Stephen Ireland (hamstring) and Marc Wilson (groin) are the latest additions to the treatment room, joining Ryan Shawcross (back) and Erik Pieters (hernia), along with long-term casualties Bojan Krkic and Peter Odemwingie (both knee).
Marko Arnautovic, who missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at Newcastle with an ankle injury, has a chance of making the 18 for the clash with City, although Hughes feels the midfielder is more likely to return for the FA Cup fifth-round tie at Blackburn on Saturday.
African Nations Cup winners Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony will not link up with club Manchester City in time to feature in Wednesday's Barclays Premier League game at Stoke.
The pair are due to return to Manchester some time this week following their success with Ivory Coast at the tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
City are otherwise at full strength as they travel to the Britannia Stadium seeking a first win in six games in all competitions.
