The 14-goal striker will undergo a late fitness test, with loanee Tottenham forward Harry Kane poised to make his home debut for the Foxes if selected.
Blackburn have a number of injury concerns, including striker Colin Kazim-Richards, who could be out for up to three months with an ankle problem.
Midfielder Lee Williamson and defender Martin Olsson remain absent.
Leicester City will attempt to consolidate their position in the Championship playoffs when they welcome a resurgent Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.

The Foxes have taken 10 points from their last six matches to move into fifth position in the table, but they are some 16 points behind leaders Cardiff City.

Blackburn, meanwhile, have managed nine points in the same period to move into 10th position. As it stands, they are seven points outside of the top six with a game in hand on the teams around them.

The reverse fixture earlier in the season ended in a 2-1 win for Blackburn, but Leicester have the third-best home record in the division, having taken 35 points from 16 matches.

The home side are expected to continue with Harry Kane and Chris Woods in attack, with David Nugent occupying a wider position. However, Richie Wellens is also pushing for a place in the team.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are expected to name on-loan duo Karim Rekik and David Bentley in their starting side, but Morten-Gamst Pedersen is also pushing for a recall after coming off the bench in the goalless draw with Leeds United at the weekend.
Leicester City
• Leicester are in danger of going through February without a win. Saturday's goalless draw at Blackpool followed three consecutive defeats in league and cup.
• The Foxes still boast the meanest defence in the Championship with only 28 goals shipped in 32 games, while at the other end of the field they have scored 36 home goals (from 16 games); only Crystal Palace exceed that with 41 (from 17).
• Nigel Pearson's outfit have managed 226 of 380 goal attempts on target, which at 59% is the highest proportion of accuracy in the division.
Blackburn Rovers
• Blackburn have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight league and cup games, but are yet to pick up an away Championship victory in 2013.
• Rovers are chasing a fifth win from Michael Appleton's 10th league and cup game in charge.
• The Ewood Park club have drawn more away games than any other in this division (nine), winning only three. All of those victories were against current bottom-four clubs.
