The Argentine midfielder, Rangers' player of the year last season, missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Leeds due to a virus.
On-loan Tottenham defender Kyle Walker stepped into midfield, but the reshuffle did not work and he was soon back at left-back.
Boss Neil Warnock was unhappy with his side's defending against Leeds as well as in the previous match, a 3-1 defeat by Watford, so club captain Fitz Hall could earn a recall.
Midfielder Gavin Mahon has been handed a new one-month contract and may be added to the bench.
Defender Peter Ramage and midfielders Akos Buzsaky and Lee Cook are still out with knee injuries.
