Blackburn duo set to miss Stoke clash

Chris Samba and Martin Olsson are both likely to miss Blackburn’s visit to Stoke with hamstring injuries.

Ryan Nelsen is back in training but not match-fit while David Dunn is suspended.

Jason Lowe is back from his ban, Michel Salgado is expected to have shaken off a knock picked up last weekend while keeper Paul Robinson is available despite receiving a gashed head against Wigan.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Bunn, Lowe, Dann, Salgado, Givet, Hanley, Rochina, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Petrovic, Dunn, Hoilett, Yakubu, Goodwillie, Formica, Roberts, Slew.
