Callum Robinson is among the substitutes as he is not deemed match-fit to start.
Shane Duffy captains the side in Coleman’s absence.
Serbia, meanwhile, have Aleksander Mitrovic up front in spite of his facial injury. Striker Dusan Vlahovic – who scored the first of Serbia’s goals against Ireland in March – is restored to the starting line-up to partner Mitrovic.
