The former Manchester United centre-half has missed the last four games after sustaining an ankle injury in the win at Charlton in November and boss Brian McDermott must decide whether to recall him to the starting line-up.
Midfielder Paul Green is sidelined due to a hamstring injury and although striker Noel Hunt is closing in on a return to first-team action having suffered a similar problem, the Irishman is unlikely to feature against Rovers.
Otherwise, McDermott has no other injury or suspension problems as Leeds bid for a fifth win in their last seven league games.
