Blackburn welcome back £15m-rated winger Damien Duff to their squad for the trip to play West Brom tonight.
He has not played for three weeks after sustaining a thigh muscle injury but is set to play a part at The Hawthorns.
Strike duo Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke face late fitness tests on hamstring injuries, while Matt Jansen is still out as he recovers from a close-season motorbike accident.
Provisional squad: Friedel, Neill, Berg, Taylor, Short, Thompson, Flitcroft, Tugay, Dunn, Gillespie, Ostenstad, Cole, Yorke, Grabbi, Danns, Duff, Hignett, Johansson, Kelly.
