Right-back George Baldock in contention for Oxford's cup clash with Blackburn

Oxford will have George Baldock available for the last time as they seek another FA Cup upset when they host Championship side Blackburn on Saturday.

Right-back Baldock has been recalled from his loan spell by parent club MK Dons, but will not leave the U's until after the fourth-round tie.

Baldock's availability means new loanee right-back Jonjoe Kenny, who joined the club from Everton on Wednesday, will likely have to wait for his debut.

Striker Ryan Taylor (groin) is the only injury absentee for Michael Appleton's men.

Blackburn boss Paul Lambert is hopeful Ben Marshall and Jason Steele will be fit for the trip to the Kassam Stadium.

Marshall missed last week's draw at Charlton with a heel injury while Steele sustained a back injury at The Valley, but both should be fit to play.

Simon Eastwood will also be pushing for a return after coming back from a recent calf injury.

But Jason Lowe (foot) and Nathan Delfouneso (knee) are definitely ruled out, while Chris Brown is suspended and new striker Danny Graham is cup-tied.
