Reid injury blow for Rovers

Steven Reid is the latest player to join Blackburn’s injury list ahead of tomorrow night’s Carling Cup third-round tie with Everton at Ewood Park.

Reid pulled out of Saturday’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Fulham with a knee problem, and will now be out for another fortnight.

Reid joins David Dunn (Achilles), Vince Grella (calf), Benni McCarthy (groin) on the sidelines, while Aaron Mokoena is ill and Keith Andrews is cup-tied.

Team (from): Robinson, Simpson, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock, Emerton, Tugay, Pedersen, R Santa Cruz, Roberts, Fowler, Derbyshire, Villanueva, Khizanishvili, Ooijer, Olsson, Treacy, Brown.
