Rovers wait on duo

Blackburn midfielders Tugay and David Dunn will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s Barclays Premier League game with Birmingham at Ewood Park.

Tugay sustained an ankle injury and Dunn a bruised thigh following last night’s aggregate defeat to Greek Cup winners Larissa in the first round of the UEFA Cup.

Rovers remain without captain and defender Ryan Nelsen due to a hamstring problem, as well as striker Jason Roberts (thigh), with both expected to return after the international break.

Team (from): Friedel, Enckelman, Emerton, Samba, Ooijer, Warnock, Bentley, Dunn, Savage, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Tugay, Mokoena, Rigters, Khizanishvili, Olsson, Brown.
