But fellow striker Francis Jeffers remains on the sidelines with a similar injury, as does Tommy Miller.
MATCH PREVIEW
After winning his first match as Wednesday manager, Alan Irvine is now looking for a victory that would take his new team out of the bottom three.
Wednesday's 2-1 triumph at Barnsley on Saturday was their first win for three months and was described by Irvine as an "absolutely terrific" start to his reign.
Having immediately breathed new life into a side that had gone 12 matches without a victory, Irvine's next task is a trip to Bloomfield Road, where Blackpool have been strong this season.
Blackpool have the third best home record in the Championship, with six of their nine league wins this season coming on their own patch. A seventh would lift Ian Holloway's side back into the play-off places.
