The £2.5 million Argentinian striker will play from the start alongside Clinton Morrison in the Blues attack for this the first fixture of the new Barclaycard Reserves Premier League (North) fixture of the season.
Aliou Cisse also gets a chance to stake his claim for a first team recall by playing his first game since he picked-up an injury in the Premiership game against - yes you guessed it - Blackburn in January.
Jovan Kirovski, Bryan Hughes and Darren Carter will be alongside the Senegal international in a strong midfield quartet.
The game at Morecambe FC kicks-off at 7pm.
BLUES: Doyle, Coly, Courtney, M. Johnson, Woodhouse, Hughes, Cisse, Carter, Kirovski, Figueroa, Morrison. Subs: Vaughan, Arrowsmith, Sadler, Alsop, Barrowman.
