Dickov back for Blackburn

Scotland striker Paul Dickov returns to the Blackburn squad for the Barclays Premiership match against Arsenal at Ewood Park tomorrow.

Dickov was rested in midweek when Rovers secured a point against Liverpool following groin and thigh problems.

However Robbie Savage could again be sidelined because of a troublesome groin while David Thompson remains doubtful with a knee injury.

Provisional squad: Friedel, Neill, Todd, Nelsen, Johansson, Thompson, Reid, Mokoena, Flitcroft, Pedersen, Dickov, Enckelman, Stead, Gallagher, Tugay, Short, Savage, Emerton, Matteo, Johnson.
