Defensive duo a doubt for Blackburn

Blackburn captain Ryan Nelsen and fellow defender Gael Givet will both undergo fitness tests ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash with West Ham at Ewood Park.

Nelsen missed last week’s 4-0 loss at Arsenal with a thigh injury, whilst Givet limped off early in the game with a knee problem.

Striker Roque Santa Cruz will miss a third successive match with a knee tendon issue and midfielder Vince Grella remains out with a groin injury.

Stephen Warnock has been cleared to play after shaking off a toe injury that forced him off after 55 minutes of the game at the Emirates Stadium.

Team (from): Robinson, Bunn, Ooijer, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Samba, Simpson, Warnock, Givet, Olsson, Villanueva, Tugay, Andrews, Diouf, Treacy, Mokoena, Dunn, McCarthy, Roberts, Pedersen.
