Rovers captain Flitcroft returns after a two game absence with a hamstring injury whilst striker Stead is back in the squad after he also missed the the last two games with a similar injury.
Amoruso is in the squad for the first time in over four months. The Italian defender underwent surgery on a knee injury last October but has come through two reserve team games unscathed and makes a welcome return to the Rovers squad for the vital game at Villa.
