Jon Dahl Tomasson was coy on whether he will be able to add to his Blackburn Rovers squad in January after a mass of injuries.

The Rovers squad has been stretched with long-term injuries to Sam Gallagher, Ryan Hedges, Aynsley Pears, Joe Rankin-Costello and Sam Barnes.

That has forced Tomasson to overuse some players, which has contributed to muscle injuries. Although there is hope that Gallagher and Pears, as well as Dom Hyam, will be back before Christmas, the squad is quite thin in certain areas.

Aside from injuries, Rovers have yet to solve their goal-scoring issue, with a number nine still on the wish list. Niall Ennis and Semir Telalovic have not started a Championship game this season despite signing in the summer to try and ease that burden.

Venky's have been limited in the money they have been able to invest in the club and were forced to cut the budget by 15 per cent during the summer, as per Gregg Broughton.

The Rovers Director of Football admitted he's had no assurance on when the issues may ease. Similarly, the High Court of India has allowed Venky's to release £11.5million of funding as 'the function of the club is not yet under any cloud of suspicion'.

Around £8m of it will go towards wages and salaries, while £900,000 will cover VAT and around £217,000 is marked for ‘repayment of loan’.
Additionally, £1.8m will cover agent fees and £572,000 will go towards utilities as part of the day-to-day running of the club.

It's unclear whether Rovers will be able to manoeuvre any deals in the January transfer window and Tomasson was unable to shed any light on the situation.

"We all know that with the cutting of the budget, last season was a small group," Tomasson told The Lancashire Telegraph when quizzed on January.

"We lost experience too, we know it was a small squad with game time too. This season, it's even smaller. We can't change that and that is the situation.

"When you cut the budget 20 per cent, it has an impact on the team which is normal. This is why I am very impressed with how the players have dealt with the situation, very good.

"Some of the players have been stretched and have maybe playing too much."

Despite the cash flow issues in India, the Venky's remain committed to paying Rovers' bills, as evidenced by this latest High Court order. Broughton insisted the owners do not want to sell the club, speaking in September.

 He told The Lancashire Telegraph: "The owners have been very clear, they do not want to sell the football club. They are committed to the project, committed to the football club.

"They have shown they can ride through the difficult situation they're having with India. They are fully supportive of us financially, they have to support the club to the tune of around £20m per year and they are fully committed to that."
