Taylor travelled to Leeds yesterday to see a specialist about the back injury he aggravated playing for England Under-21s last week.
Good News For Allardyce!
But he looks likely to be in the side at the weekend.
Faye is also ready to return from the hamstring problem he picked up in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light earlier this month.
Allardyce: "I hope to have some players back from injury at Blackburn - Abdoulaye Faye and Steven Taylor from a defensive point of view.
"We'll see how he goes this week, but we're hoping we may get Abdoulaye back for the weekend.
"He's a big player for us in defence. He's a powerful in the air and has the presence we need."
