Dunn unlikely to face Blues

David Dunn is set to miss out when Blackburn travel to his old club Birmingham tomorrow due to a groin problem.

The midfielder picked up the injury in last week’s 1-0 win over Everton and is not expected to be fit for selection until after the match at St Andrew’s.

The same applies to Vince Grella (calf), but Rovers boss Sam Allardyce hopes to have both players back for next week’s Carling Cup encounter with Norwich.

Team (from): Robinson, Salgado, Chimbonda, Jones, Givet, Nelsen, Samba, Olsson, Jacobsen, Emerton, Nzonzi, Andrews, Kalinic, Pedersen, Hoilett, EH Diouf, MB Diouf, Brown.
