Michael Keane should return to Burnley's squad for their derby clash with his old club Blackburn at Turf Moor, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 12pm on Saturday.
The former Rovers loanee, who made his debut for them in this fixture, has missed the Clarets' past two games with concussion but has trained as normal this week, meaning Sean Dyche must decide whether to throw him in and take James Tarkowski out.
A number of the Clarets' injured players were involved in a game at their training ground in midweek, although it is likely to be too soon for Dean Marney (calf) and Lloyd Dyer to feature for the first team.
Ashley Barnes, who has been out since May with a knee injury, played his first 45 minutes in that game but will be built up slowly while Lukas Jutkiewicz (knee) is further behind in his rehabilitation.
Corry Evans is again doubtful as Blackburn make the short trip across east Lancashire.
The Northern Ireland international (ankle) missed the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough and will be assessed after training on Friday.
Otherwise it is as you were for boss Paul Lambert, who will probably pair Tony Watt and Danny Graham together in attack again and mirror Burnley's 4-4-2 formation.
Blackburn have four long-term absentees in Danny Guthrie (hamstring), Lee Williamson (calf), Jason Lowe (foot) and Nathan Delfouneso (knee).
