Villanueva set to face Mariners

Blackburn manager Paul Ince is set to hand a debut to Carlos Villanueva tomorrow in the Carling Cup against Grimsby at Ewood Park.

The forward, on a season-long loan deal from Chilean side Audax Italiano, has been sidelined with chickenpox.

Midfielder David Dunn is ruled out of the second-round match as he suffered an Achilles injury in the 1-1 draw against Hull at the weekend.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock, Emerton, Reid, Mokoena, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Roberts, Brown, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Simpson, Tugay, Villanueva, Treacy, Khizanishvili.
