Blackburn Rovers winger Mathias Jorgensen will make the squad for just the second time this season as the side prepare to visit Bristol City on Tuesday (19:45 BST), boss Tony Mowbray has said.
The 26-year-old Dane has been struggling with a hamstring issue that has restricted him to just 29 minutes of their game against Middlesbrough in August.
Midfielders Kristi Montgomery and Ryoya Morishita might also both feature in the upcoming game after being substituted in their victory over Cardiff City on Saturday.
“Jorgensen is back on the bench for this game but it’s pretty much the same [squad as the weekend],” Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire.

“We have a few decisions to make, which is good because they are all senior players. I’m not trying to make decisions around 18-year-old boys making debuts.”
Left-back Yuri Ribeiro is “two or three weeks” away from a return with his hamstring issue, though defender Matty Litherland trained this week as he recovers from a back injury.
The 20-year-old broke into the first team last season with five appearances but is yet to feature this campaign.
Mowbray said: “[It’s] a positive that he didn’t need an operation on his back and he was out there today doing some light work. It’s great to see him back.”
