Duo Back For Stoke Away

El Hadji Diouf and Morten Gamst Pedersen return to the Blackburn squad for the trip to play Stoke tomorrow in tomorrow’s crunch fixture.

Both Diouf and Pedersen missed the game at Anfield with a throat infection and calf injury respectively, but both are back and raring to go.

Treacy and Mokoena are the two likely to make way for the wingers but Sam will keep people guessing until the start with Carlos Villanueva in with a shout for a starting place.

However, the bad news is that Rovers are still without Jason Roberts (metatarsal), Roque Santa Cruz, Brett Emerton and Steven Reid (all knee).

here is the squad in full –

Robinson, Bunn, Ooijer, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Samba, Simpson, Warnock, Givet, Olsson, Villanueva, Tugay, Andrews, Diouf, Treacy, Mokoena, McCarthy, Pedersen, Grella, Dunn, Doran.
