FURTHER HOPE: Andre Ooijer may be fit
BLACKBURN Rovers defender Andre Ooijer could be in line for a first-team return, having missed the 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns with a swollen knee.
Latest injury victim Brett Emerton has also given Rovers good news this week, after a scan on the hamstring he injured on Saturday showed only a grade one tear.
The Australian will miss Sunday’s eagerly-anticipated match but could be in line for a return for the home clash with Sunderland a week later, banishing all previous fears of a potential month-long absence.
