Allardyce hopes Dunn is not done
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce is hoping David Dunn will be back in action sooner rather than later.
Dunn, 30, lasted only nine minutes on the opening day at Ewood Park before limping off with a groin strain. Despite his absence Blackburn went on to record a 1-0 victory against Everton, thanks to Nikola Kalinic's 14th-minute goal.
Dunn looked to be over the injury problems that have blighted a promising career by scoring 10 goals from midfield last season.
Those concerns about his fitness were rekindled on Saturday, although Allardyce believes the medical report will be positive.
He said: "David has done everything possible this summer, playing in every single pre-season game and joining in every training session. He was our leading goalscorer last season and we have never seen him as fit as he is now.
"Then lo and behold he feels his groin in the first five or 10 minutes. We are so disappointed for him but we don`t think it is too bad and he will be back soon."
