Blackburn Rovers vs Newcastle - Corry Evans set to miss out for Blackburn
Posted Tuesday, January 15, 2019 by PA
Blackburn’s Corry Evans looks set to miss Tuesday’s FA Cup third-round replay against Newcastle.
While Evans is unlikely to feature after coming off at half-time in the 2-0 Sky Bet Championship win at Millwall on Saturday, Rovers boss Tony Mowbray is hopeful his injury will not sideline him for long.
Charlie Mulgrew (hamstring) and Derrick Williams (calf), both of whom sat out the game at the weekend, will be assessed. Paul Downing, who was also absent on Saturday due to illness, is expected to be fit.
Richie Smallwood is available again having served a three-match suspension, but Sam Hart is cup-tied.
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is set to shuffle his starting line-up for the Ewood Park clash.
Freddie Woodman, Javier Manquillo, Jamie Sterry and Jacob Murphy are among those likely to return.
Benitez confirmed that Mo Diame (hip), Paul Dummett (hamstring) and Jonjo Shelvey will definitely miss out.
But Kenedy could feature after not being eligible for the weekend defeat to his parent club Chelsea.
