Blackburn boss Steve Kean is confident Junior Hoilett will be back against Manchester City on Monday to boost Rovers' "absolute dogfight" to avoid relegation.
Hoilett, 20, has been a talisman for Kean since he took over as manager, scoring five goals since the turn of the year, but he missed the defeat at Everton due to a hamstring injury.
Kean said: "We have missed him. His quality this season has been fantastic, and his consistency. He's not been a flash in the pan - he's been a constant threat to opposition defences.
"We are confident he will be back for Monday. He missed the last game with a bit of fluid on his hamstring but that is clearing up and we are hopeful he will be able to train on Saturday and Sunday."
