Owen Beck could be available for Blackburn Rovers against Cardiff City after suffering a back injury.

The Welsh left-back was absent from the squad against Stoke City on Wednesday night. Harry Pickering came in for his first start since before the previous international break.

Beck missed the game due to a stiff back, sustained in the early minutes of last weekend's game against Sheffield United. Eustace was hopeful that he could be in the travelling group that will face Cardiff at the weekend.

"Owen got a kick in the back in the first minute against Sheffield United," Eustace said.

"He did well to come through the 90 minutes and continue in the game. It's stiffened up over the last few days, unfortunately.

"Hopefully, he will be available for the weekend. We had a young bench tonight but that's where we are. The group's attitude has been fantastic.

"They are a great group to be working with. You could see tonight's effort was very, very good."
