Gresko ruled out for season

BLACKBURN defender Vratislav Gresko has been ruled out for the rest of the season with cruciate ligament damage.

The 27-year-old was injured while playing for Slovakia in the goalless draw with Slovenia two weeks ago.

The former Inter Milan full-back played in Blackburn’s opening three matches of the season but only featured for new boss Mark Hughes in the Carling Cup defeat to Bournemouth.

Gresko signed from Parma two years ago following a loan spell at Ewood Park.
