Tony Mowbray provides update on Blackburn Rovers quartet ahead of Nottingham Forest clash

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has revealed that Tayo Edun, Harry Pickering and Tyrhys Dolan will all miss Wednesday’s clash with Nottingham Forest, while Sam Gallagher faces a late scan to see if he will be available for the match at Ewood Park.

Both Pickering and Dolan are longer term absentees for Blackburn, and neither have featured since early January due to hamstring injuries.

Edun meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury in the goalless draw with Luton at the end of last month, that has left him wearing a protective boot.

Now it seems that those issues will keep that trio out of action, at least for the clash with Forest, with Mowbray wary of rushing players back from injury too soon.

Providing an update on those three ahead of the midweek clash with Forest, the Blackburn boss was quoted by the club’s official Twitter account as saying: “When they’ve been out for a while, we don’t expect them to be back straight away.

“Edun is still in a boot, Dolan and Pickering are training but haven’t done much over past few weeks, so still a bit early for them.”
