Dean Smith discussed the status of all players out with injuries in recent weeks, confirming that centre-backs Grant Hanley and Andrew Omobamidele are back in training today.
Dean said: "Both are back training today but they haven't trained up until then. Grant had an injection after the West Brom game and feels a lot better.
"Andrew needed to recover with a slight groin problem. It was too risky to go and play games and both managers and countries were understanding."
In the pre-West Brom press conference, Dean mentioned that he hoped Isaac Hayden would be able to get some minutes in a friendly match.
"He had to go for a review back at Newcastle and they felt he had a slight effusion in the knee so he's not trained yet. I expect him back in the next two weeks."
"Dimi has been out on the grass running, non-contact, so he is the closest to being back. Lungi is still in a boot and Sam is doing gym based work. Adam Idah is still out.
"Liam Gibbs will train today and has completed all rehab work, making a swift recovery. Our physios have passed him back into our care now. If he trains well, he'll be a valuable addition."
"Johnny Rowe's scan was really positive but he's got another couple of weeks of recovery still."
Looking forward to the next few weeks of games scheduled, Dean said: "Sometimes our performances have been where we've wanted to be, but sometimes we have been unplayable.
"Blackpool are not in the best of runs but some of their performances have been good. They are an aggressive team, they have some good players there. It is going to be a test.
Michael Appleton's side currently sit in the bottom half of the league table, having picked up 11 points in their first 10 matches of the season.
"Shakey has worked with Michael at West Brom and I have come across him a few times, myself.
"We've got to see it as an opportunity to get as many points as we can as early as we can."
