Rovers boss Steve Kean says Gael Givet has recovered from his hamstring injury and is in contention to face Chelsea on Sunday.
The second half of Monday's Premier League clash against Wigan Athletic was delayed as Givet suffered an apparent further health scare.
The ex-Monaco man had been troubled with a heart problem several weeks ago and there was cause for concern when Kean emerged from the dressing room to report that Givet had complained of a similar issue during the break at Ewood Park.
Players from both sides were kept in the tunnel while Givet was seen to by paramedics and physios, but the action resumed shortly after the scheduled restart when it was revealed that he was in a stable condition and only suffering from a hamstring strain.
Givet later re-emerged to take his place alongside his teammates on the Rovers bench.
The whole episode was rather peculiar and Rovers fans are already speculating as to what may have actually taken place in the dressing room.
