Gary Bowyer is without Craig Conway for Brentford's visit to Ewood Park this evening after the Blackburn Rovers winger picked up a hamstring injury in the win over Charlton Athletic at the weekend.
Doneil Henry also misses out and Lee Williamson is only fit enough for a place on the bench, but Matt Kilgallon starts after shaking off a hip problem.
Brentford defender Liam Moore is once again dropped by Mark Warburton, while Lewis Macleod is struggling with a hamstring injury.
Scott Hogan is another absentee as he remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Blackburn Rovers: Steele; Henley, Baptise, Kilgallon, Spurr; Taylor, Evans, Cairney, Marshall; Gestede, Rhodes.
Brentford: Button; Odubajo, Dean, Tarkowski, Bidwell; Douglas, Jota, Judge, Pritchard, Dallas; Long.
