BLACKBURN Rovers midfielder David Dunn has been ruled out of this weekend's East Lancashire derby through injury.

Dunn, 33, scored a last minute equaliser when the two sides met at Ewood Park last season and was expected to start Saturday's match.

Rovers have not lost to Burnley in 34 years and Dunn's absence will be a huge blow to Gary Bowyer's side as they bid to preserve that unbeaten record.
