Team News: DJ Campbell returns for Blackburn Rovers

DJ Campbell returns to Blackburn's matchday squad for the first time since being bailed after being arrested on allegations on spot-fixing.

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has recalled DJ Campbell to his matchday squad for the first time since the striker's alleged involvement in match-fixing.

Campbell was granted bail earlier this month after being arrested by the National Crime Agency as part of a spot-fixing investigation.

Nevertheless, the 32-year-old is afforded a return to first-team duties and takes his place on the bench for this afternoon's visit of Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.

Bowyer names one change in total from the 1-0 win over Yeovil Town at the weekend, with Rudy Gestede deputising for the injured David Dunn, while Jordan Rhodes continues to lead the line for Rovers.

Meanwhile, Wednesday caretaker boss Stuart Gray has the luxury of naming striker Atdhe Nuhiu in his first XI.

Nuhiu was expected to miss the trip to Lancashire after damaging his shoulder in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, but the forward has shaken off the knock which threatened his inclusion and starts.

Blackburn Rovers: Eastwood; Henley, Dann, Hanley, Spurr; Taylor, Lowe, Cairney, Marshall, Gestede; Rhodes

Sheffield Wednesday: Kirkland; Palmer, Loovens, Roger Johnson, Reda Johnson; Lee, McPhail, Semedo, Maghoma; Helan, Nuhiu
