FA Cup: Cole out for Blackburn clash

Andy Cole is ineligible for Blackburn’s FA Cup third-round tie at Barnsley because he was not signed in time from Manchester United.

Skipper Garry Flitcroft misses out through suspension and that should pave the way for David Dunn to return to the starting line-up.

Damien Duff is Rovers’ only injury concern and will have a fitness test on his groin strain to decide his participation.

Team (from): Friedel, Kelly, Taylor, Johansson, Berg, Short, Neill, Bjornebye, Tugay, Mahon, Gillespie, Dunn, Jansen, Grabbi, Hughes, Ostenstad, Curtis, Hignett, Duff.
