He is one of four changes to the side at Gtech Community Stadium.
Jordan Henderson will make his full debut for the club while Kevin Schade, who also featured as a substitute against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, starts.
Mikkel Damsgaard missed the season opener following the birth of his and his wife's first child, but returns to the team for the visit of the Villans.
The quartet they replace - Rico Henry, Mathias Jensen, Antoni Milambo and Fábio Carvalho - are all named on the bench, with Keane Lewis-Potter moving to left-back.
On the absence of Yoane Wissa, Andrews said: "It’s not right to involve him in the squad. The team is the focus and I felt that was the right thing to do.”
