But having not played since the start of November, the 27-year-old is unlikely to feature from the start.
Elsewhere, Lewis Fiorini and Ian Poveda will both be hoping to be involved after being left out against Burnley last week.
Aside from that, the picture looks pretty similar on the injury front with Marvin Ekpiteta, Charlie Goode, Kevin Stewart, Liam Bridcutt, Tom Trybull, Shayne Lavery and Jake Beesley all sidelined.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Seasiders could line up on Saturday...
