Quartet could return for Blackburn derby

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has four players back in contention for Sunday’s local derby with Burnley at Turf Moor.

Captain Ryan Nelsen, Gael Givet, Lars Jacobsen, and Vince Grella are all available again after shaking off their recent injury woes.

Allardyce, though, is still without goalkeeper Paul Robinson with a calf injury, while January signing Yildiray Basturk – who has yet to figure since his arrival – is out with a hamstring problem.

Team (from): Brown, Dunn, Olsson, Salgado, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Jacobsen, Grella, Hoilett, Roberts, Diouf, Andrews, Kalinic, Chimbonda, Jones, Emerton, Di Santo, Jacobsen, Bunn.
