Jeffers available for Rovers

Blackburn striker Francis Jeffers is available for Sunday’s Ewood Park clash against Manchester City after a recent red card was overturned.

Jeffers was sent off in a reserve match against Manchester United, incurring a three-match suspension, only for the club to successfully win an appeal.

Midfielder Steven Reid is definitely out after today undergoing a scan to discover the cause of a niggly back problem.

Team (from): Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Todd, Tugay, Emerton, Savage, Bentley, Nonda, McCarthy, Pedersen, Mokoena, Jeffers, Gallagher, Ooijer, Brown, Gray, Peter, McEveley.
