Bradley Dack could return for Blackburn after ban

Posted Friday, December 20, 2019 by PA

Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray has to decide whether to change a winning line-up as his side take on struggling Wigan at Ewood Park on Monday evening.

A good run of form has seen Rovers climb into the Sky Bet Championship top 10 and Mowbray has options to make changes following the 2-0 win at Bristol City last time out.

Bradley Dack missed that game through suspension but could return in place of Lewis Holtby while forward Danny Graham was rested.

Sam Gallagher or Ben Brereton could make way for Graham although Adam Armstrong is pushing for a starting place after scoring as a substitute at Ashton Gate.

Wigan manager Paul Cook has options in defence ahead of the game with Blackburn.

Kai Naismith has played the last two games after coming in for the suspended Chey Dunkley and will look to continue at centre-back but the latter will be hoping for a recall.

Centre-back Charlie Mulgrew (calf) and fellow defender Danny Fox (groin) both missed the 1-1 draw with Huddersfield last time out and are set to be absent once more.

David Marshall also sat out the Huddersfield game because of a neck injury and is a doubt to face Blackburn.
