Neill may return for Rovers

Lucas Neill could be rested for Blackburn’s trip to Charlton tomorrow after a gruelling international trip to Venezuela.

But Australian team-mate Brett Emerton looks set to recover from the ankle injury which ruled him out of the South American haul.

Veteran defender Craig Short is back in contention following a slight back injury but striker Matt Jansen is not included in the Rovers squad after being knocked out in a midweek reserve game.

Provisional squad: Friedel, Gresko, Babbel, Todd, Short, Tugay, Johansson, Flitcroft, Stead, Gallagher, Emerton, Cole, Yorke, Andresen, Gray, Douglas, Todd, Enckelman.
