Leandro Rodriguez could land Bees debut against Blackburn

Brentford could hand a debut to Uruguayan striker Leandro Rodriguez against Blackburn.

The 23-year-old has joined on loan from Everton until April 14 and is expected to be included in Dean Smith's squad.

Full-back Maxime Colin has returned to training following a groin problem and could also feature, while striker Scott Hogan is building up his fitness following a long-term knee injury.

Smith may make further changes following the 3-0 defeat by derby rivals QPR last weekend.

Blackburn will be without Corry Evans after it was confirmed he needs a small operation on a groin problem.

The midfielder has not been named in Northern Ireland's squad for the forthcoming internationals with Wales and Slovenia as he goes under the knife for an issue that should be resolved in time for Euro 2016.

Danny Graham (back) will be assessed by Paul Lambert after missing the trip to Ipswich when Rovers were beaten 2-0, while Chris Taylor has this week been allowed to join Millwall on loan.

Jason Lowe (foot), Danny Guthrie (hamstring) and Nathan Delfouneso (knee) all featured for the club's Under-21s on Monday, though none of those three, along with Lee Williamson (calf), will be considered for the senior team this weekend.
