Duo back for Rovers

Defenders Brett Emerton and Christopher Samba return to Blackburn’s squad for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League home clash with Tottenham.

Defenders Brett Emerton and Christopher Samba return to Blackburn’s squad for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League home clash with Tottenham.

Emerton has been troubled by a groin strain, which has limited him to just 45 minutes of first-team action in the last month, but he returned to full training this week.

Meanwhile, Samba is available again following a one-match ban which ruled him out of Saturday’s goalless draw at Reading and joins a full-strength squad as Mark Hughes’ side looks to sustain their push for Europe.

Team from: Friedel, Emerton, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Bentley, Reid, Dunn, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Roberts, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Vogel, Mokoena, Tugay, Brown.
