Blackpool cannot include Stephen Dobbie against Swansea under the terms of his loan move from the Welsh club.It means Brett Ormerod, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Ben Burgess are vying for places up front, while DJ Campbell could return after a thigh problem.
Swansea skipper Garry Monk and Darren Pratley could be recalled after being rested against QPR.
Andrea Orlandi (hamstring) could also return, but Ferrie Bodde and Albert Serran remain sidelined.
MATCH PREVIEW
While Swansea remain very much on course for the play-offs, Blackpool's impressive promotion bid has stalled in recent weeks and they could certainly do with a victory.
Ian Holloway's side have surprised many this season, but have now won only one of their last five matches and have slipped to three places and seven points away from the top six.
But they are very strong at Bloomfield Road, where the Tangerines have lost only four times this season and Swansea have won only once in 20 league visits spanning 84 years.
The Swans have also won one of their last five matches, but they are fifth in the table and eight points clear of seventh-placed Sheffield United. And only one of their remaining matches is against another team currently in the top six: Cardiff.
