Blackburn are still without Harry Leonard and Andreas Weimann – both of whom missed the final stages of last season – but Scott Wharton returned and played 30 minutes against Accrington last weekend.
New signing Dion De Neve – who joined from Kortijk – made his debut a week ago, while Sidnei Tavares (a £2m signing from Moreirense) is yet to make his debut.
On Everton's side, summer signing Thierno Barry will not play until the team leaves for the US due to his participation in the European Under-21 Championship and his late break.
Jarrad Branthwaite has recovered from the minor injury that kept him out of the final game of last season and started against Accrington. However, James Tarkowski remains sidelined with a serious hamstring injury sustained against Manchester City.
Carlos Alcaraz has completed a permanent move from Flamengo after a loan spell, and could partner Idrissa Gueye in midfield – the Senegalese signed a one-year contract extension earlier this month.

The club's ambitions have been boosted, as has the transfer budget, with manager David Moyes hoping to add to the three summer signings.
Everton will hope that relegation fears are now a thing of the past. With a new board in place and the positive impact Moyes has had since taking over in January last season, the club have reason to aim higher in 2025–26.
Winning all three final matches of last season helped Everton finish in 13th place - above Manchester United and Tottenham and 23 points clear of the relegation zone.
Moyes' men started the season with a 1-1 draw at Accrington on Tuesday night, thanks to Beto's late penalty. Everton will then travel to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series after the Blackburn game.
Roma will be the first opponents in the inaugural professional fixture at Hill Dickinson, before Everton travel to Leeds United in Monday's late game in the opening round of the 2025–26 Premier League.
Next up is a clash with Blackburn – a team Everton beat in their last competitive meeting at Ewood Park in the 2011–12 Premier League season, courtesy of a late Mikel Arteta penalty. They also won in a friendly in 2013.
However, Blackburn thrashed Everton 3-0 in their last friendly in 2018 – a game that saw then-manager Marco Silva heavily criticised – and a repeat of that would give Blackburn – who are hoping to return to the promotion play-offs this season after finishing just two points off the top six last term – a boost in confidence.
Valerien Ismael's side finished the 2024–25 Championship campaign in seventh place, taking 13 points from their final five games and just missing out on the play-offs on the final day. While it won't be easy to replicate that feat, a win over Accrington in an early-season friendly is a positive sign.
After Everton, Blackburn will face Elche before starting their Championship campaign with a clash with West Brom on August 9.
