Jordan Rhodes returns to the Blackburn Rovers side that hosts Bolton Wanderers in the Championship this evening.

The striker missed the goalless draw with Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday, but has been included this evening in favour of Rudy Gestede, who is forced to settle for place on the bench.

Gary Bowyer has also handed recalls to Jason Steele, Doneil Henry and Chris Brown ahead of the visit from their Lancashire rivals.

Meanwhile, Trotters boss Neil Lennon has picked Emile Heskey up front alongside Adam le Fondre, while Josh Vela and Neil Danns are also included as the visitors make four changes.

Blackburn: Steele; Henley, Henry, Kilgallon, Olsson; Conway, Cairney, Evans, Marshall, Brown; Rhodes

Bolton: Amos; Vela, Mills, McCarthy, Ream; Janko, Danns, Coke, Feeney; Le Fondre, Heskey.
