Samba not in Rovers squad

Blackburn boss Steve Kean made five changes to his side following last Saturday’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Newcastle for the Barclays Premier clash with Fulham.

Goalkeeper Paul Robinson, midfielder David Dunn and winger Junior Hoilett all returned from injury, whilst defender Jason Lowe and striker Ayegbeni Yakubu were restored to the starting line-up.
