Corry Evans and Joe Rothwell set for Rovers returns
Posted Monday, September 30, 2019 by PA
Corry Evans and Joe Rothwell could return to the Blackburn squad for the visit of Nottingham Forest.
Both midfielders resumed training on Monday following absences due to illness, with Rovers boss Tony Mowbray insisting Rothwell would have started at the weekend had he been available.
Defender Tosin Adarabioyo is fit again after recovering from a thigh injury while forward Dominic Samuel (knee) is also back in contention.
However, former Red Ben Brereton (knee) and fellow striker Dan Butterworth (back) are still sidelined.
Forest defender Michael Dawson is a major doubt for the trip to Ewood Park – and may also miss the home game against Brentford.
The 35-year-old was forced off late in the first half of the win at Stoke on Friday night with a calf injury.
Reds boss Sabri Lamouchi has plenty of options to cover for Dawson with Chema, who came on against Stoke, Tobias Figueiredo and Alexander Milosevic all available.
Elsewhere, Albert Adomah, Tiago Silva and Alfa Semedo will also be hoping for recalls.
