Blackburn without trio

Roque Santa Cruz, Phil Jones and Gael Givet are all missing for Blackburn when they travel to Wigan in the Barclays Premier League tomorrow.

Santa Cruz and Givet are both suffering from groin injuries while Jones is out for the season with a knee injury he picked up against West Ham in December.

However, Jermaine Jones is available to manager Steve Kean after he recovered from the back spasm that forced him off during the midweek defeat against Tottenham and fellow midfielder Brett Emerton is also in contention after his sojourn with Australia at the Asian Cup.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Olsson, Hoilett, Andrews, J Jones, Dunn, MB Diouf, Roberts, Pedersen, Bunn, Hanley, Emerton, Nzonzi, Grella, Benjani, Kalinic, Morris, Lowe.
