Craig Bellamy is expected to return to the Blackburn squad on Sunday for the clash against his former club Newcastle at Ewood Park.
Bellamy, 26, has been out since the opening game of the season with a muscle tear but is in contention for a place against the club he left in the summer after a public row with manager with Graeme Souness.
Rovers striker Paul Dickov is hoping to shrug off a back injury, but Andy Todd remains suspended.
PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Matteo, Emerton, Savage, Mokoena, Reid, Pedersen, Bentley, Jansen, Kuqi, Bellamy, Enckelman, Tugay, Dickov.
