Samba poised for Rovers return

27 December 2010 11:30
Want-away defender Christopher Samba should be fit to return to the Blackburn side for their trip to West Brom after missing the home loss to Stoke with an ankle knock. Samba, who has been stripped of the captaincy by new boss Steve Kean, was missed on Boxing Day and is likely to return in place of youngster Grant Hanley. El-Hadji Diouf is pushing for a recall after being dropped to the bench against Stoke but Phil Jones (knee), Jason Roberts (hamstring) and Vince Grella (Achilles) remain sidelined.
