Nottingham Forest vs Blackburn - Martin O’Neill may ring the changes as Forest host Blackburn
Posted Thursday, April 11, 2019 by PA
Nottingham Forest boss Martin O’Neill could again make changes to his team as they take on Blackburn at the City Ground.
With the Reds’ play-off challenge having faded, O’Neill said he would experiment with his starting line-ups for the remaining games this season and he made five changes at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.
Luke Steele and Arvin Appiah were given their first league starts at Hillsborough, while Sam Byram made his return from injury at right-back.
Forest will check on the fitness of Tendayi Darikwa. The full-back has missed the last two matches with a hamstring problem.
Craig Conway is the only injury concern for Blackburn.
The winger was excellent in the home win against Derby on Tuesday night but he is a doubt for the weekend due to a thigh strain.
Rovers captain Charlie Mulgrew has resumed training after an ankle injury kept him out in midweek. The defender will be assessed to see if there is any reaction but he is expected to be in the squad.
Blackburn have won away just once in the league since October.
