Pederson to miss Spurs trip

Morten Gamst Pedersen is almost certain to miss Blackburn’s clash with Spurs at White Hart Lane on Sunday with a hamstring injury.

Pedersen sustained the problem in scoring the winner in last Saturday’s 1-0 home victory over Arsenal.

Although the left winger has shown improvement over the week, manager Mark Hughes claims he is likely “to err on the side of the caution,” with either David Bentley or Sergio Peter to deputise.

Team (from): Friedel, Enckelman, Pedersen, Neill, Savage, Nelsen, Khizanishvili, Reid, Gray, Tugay, Bentley, Todd, Kuqi, Emerton, Bellamy, Matteo, Dickov, Mokoena, Sinama-Pongolle, Peter.
