Blackburn Rovers will have Todd Cantwell and Sondre Tronstad available to face Norwich City this weekend.
Cantwell missed the defeat at Swansea City with a back spasm. However, he trained on Thursday and new head coach, Valerien Ismael, was optimistic he would return at Ewood Park.
Likewise, Sondre Tronstad has been in full training and should make the matchday squad for the first time in six weeks. The experienced Norwegian is more likely to be on the bench as he builds up his fitness from a hamstring injury.
"He trained this morning so if he can train tomorrow without any problem he will be available for the game," Ismael told The Lancashire Telegraph on Cantwell.

"I know that he was long injured so we will see, we need to build him up," he added on Tronstad.
"12 games remaining is not a lot but for a player who was out for a long period of time we don't need to rush because after that we'll still have a lot of games so we need to have a build-up with him.
"Today we had a lot of players back from injury. For sure, maybe not 100% from the possibility that they can play but at least they are back and I think in the final push of the season, it's important to get all the players back."
Rovers will now have some tough decisions to make on their 20-man squad with so many senior players available. Danny Batth and Owen Beck are the only short-term injuries remaining, with Harry Pickering also set to return in the next month.
It could leave a situation where as many as five are left out of the squad. Two from last weekend's defeat will have to miss out to accommodate the return of Cantwell and Tronstad.
