Blackburn Rovers midfielder Vince Grella looks set to take his place in Sam Allardyce's squad for Wednesday's clash with Bolton. Despite suffering a heavy knock in Saturday's FA Cup clash with Sunderland, Grella was cleared of any serious damage to his knee and has been named to play at Ewood Park against the manager's former club.

Fellow Aussie Brett Emerton is expected to start as usual in his customary midfield role.
