Rovers missing key duo

Blackburn manager Graeme Souness is without Lucas Neill and Barry Ferguson for tomorrow’s second leg of the UEFA Cup first-round tie against Turkish side Genclerbirligi at Ewood Park.

Neill has lost half a stone battling against pneumonia, while Ferguson is cup tied after playing for Rangers in a Champions League qualifier earlier this season. The duo join long-term injury victims Craig Short and Markus Babbel on the sidelines.

Team (from): Friedel, Kelly, Reid, Amoruso, Todd, Gresko, Tugay, Baggio, Flitcroft, Thompson, Emerton, Cole, Yorke, Grabbi, Jansen, Gallacher, Johansson, Taylor, McEveley.
