Kean confident over Hoilett fitness

Blackburn boss Steve Kean is confident Junior Hoilett will be back against Manchester City on Monday to boost Rovers' "absolute dogfight" to avoid relegation. Hoilett, 20, has been a talisman for Kean since he took over as manager, scoring five goals since the turn of the year, but he missed the defeat at Everton due to a hamstring injury. Kean said: "We have missed him. His quality this season has been fantastic, and his consistency. He's not been a flash in the pan - he's been a constant threat to opposition defences. "We are confident he will be back for Monday. He missed the last game with a bit of fluid on his hamstring but that is clearing up and we are hopeful he will be able to train on Saturday and Sunday."
