Santa Cruz sidelined

Manchester City target Roque Santa Cruz is again unavailable for Blackburn due to a calf injury that sidelines him for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash at Fulham.

Midfielder David Dunn is another absentee with a hamstring problem, but the defence is strengthened as Andre Ooijer and Ryan Nelsen return after being suspended for Monday’s FA Cup win at Blyth Spartans.
