TEAM NEWS

Blackburn

Captain Ryan Nelsen is a late fitness worry after coming off in a friendly against Dundee United last week with a knee injury.

Christopher Samba has recovered from a hamstring strain suffered against Dundee, but Paul Gallagher looks set to miss out with a similar injury.

Gael Givet is back at full fitness and could feature at some point in this tie, while Vince Grella could be rushed back into first team action as Allardyce finds his options limited.

Steven Reid and Brett Emerton are continuing on the road to recovery, while David Dunn continues his stay on the sidelines.

Possible Starting XI: Robinson; Andrews, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock; Diouf, N’Zonzi, Grella, Pedersen; McCarthy, Kalinic.

Carlos Tevez is in contention after recovering from an ankle injury, but has been used sparingly in pre-season thus far.

Craig Bellamy has recovered from his knee injury that kept him out of the Wales game in midweek.

Roque Santa Cruz is out until September as he recovers from knee surgery.

Vincent Kompany is absent after off-season toe surgery, and Michael Johnson continues to recover from an abdomen problem that ruled him out for most of last season.

Emmanuel Adebayor picked up a slight groin injury while away on international duty, but should be fit to feature at Ewood Park.

Possible Starting XI: Given; Richards, Dunne, Toure, Bridge; De Jong, Barry, Ireland, Wright-Phillips; Robinho, Adebayor.
