Blackburn will welcome back Vince Grella against Stoke but Lars Jacobsen and David Dunn are still missing.
Grella has been forced to miss the last six games with a thigh injury but after returning to training this week is now in contention to return for the trip to the Britannia Stadium.
Jacobsen and Dunn are progressing from their injuries but the game has come too soon for the duo, while new signing Yildiray Basturk will have to wait before making his debut as he still lacks match fitness.
Rovers from: Robinson, Chimbonda, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Diouf, Emerton, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Olsson, Kalinic, Brown, Roberts, Grella, Reid, Andrews, Hoilett, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones.
