Mowbray set to name same Blackburn team for Derby clash
Posted Friday, December 06, 2019 by PA
Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Derby.
Mowbray has no new injury concerns, but defender Derrick Williams remains sidelined due to a calf injury sustained while on Republic of Ireland duty last month.
Stewart Downing has started at left-back in Rovers’ last two matches and is likely to continue there in Williams’ absence.
Forward Sam Gallagher recovered from a hamstring strain in time to step off the bench in last week’s win at Stoke and is pushing for a start.
Derby manager Phillip Cocu is hoping Poland defender Krystian Bielik can prove his fitness.
Bielik has been sidelined with a hip problem, but returned to full training on Thursday and will be monitored.
Midfielder Tom Huddlestone is also back in training after a knee injury, but will not be in contention.
Graeme Shinnie (hamstring), Mason Bennett (ankle), Scott Malone (knee) and Ikechi Anya (calf) are all still out.
