Blackburn Rovers were expected to make a decision today on whether they will travel to India as part of their pre-season programme.

Rovers are due to fly to Mumbai on Thursday, before travelling to meet owners Venky’s 160km away in Pune.

The India visit would be the first made by a Premier League team but last week’s deadly bomb blast in Mumbai, which killed 18 people, has put it in jeopardy.

Club officials held emergency talks with the Foreign Office and travel companies over whether to give the tour the go-ahead.

Reports in India still expect the trip to happen and they claim an exhibition match against Pune will take place.
