Ooijer clear to tackle Blues

Blackburn defender Andre Ooijer is available to face Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge after recovering from a hamstring injury.

He was forced to sit out the victory against Portsmouth which all but secured Blackburn’s Barclays Premier League safety because of the problem.

Strikers Roque Santa Cruz (knee) and Jason Roberts (fractured metatarsal) are again ruled out through injury.

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