Vince Grella's injury-plagued season has finally improved after scans revealed no serious damage to his knee from a late tackle in Saturday's FA Cup draw at Sunderland.
The 29-year-old Australian international had to limp from the field and sit out the dying moments of the FA Cup fourth-round match after a reckless challenge by Sunderland's Andy Reid.
After the match, Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce expressed his fears at potentially losing Grella for another long period of time after hamstring and calf problems had limited the Australian to just seven appearances this campaign for Rovers.
But tests on Grella's knee have revealed the problem was just bruising and the Socceroo could be in contention for Rovers visit of Bolton on Wednesday in the Premier League.
Rovers will need Grella too, as they sit 17th in the league in the midst of a relegation battle, with only goal difference separating them from bottom-club West Bromwich.
