Blackburn v PORTSMOUTH: Steve Finnan muscled out of facing Rovers

Sidelined: Finnan (top) will play no partPortsmouth will be without injury-plagued right-back Steve Finnan for their Barclays Premier League trip to Blackburn on Saturday. The Irishman is suffering with an abductor muscle problem, but striker Frederic Piquionne should be available, despite being carried off against Wigan last Saturday after taking a knock to his neck. Papa Bouba Diop (hamstring) and Hermann Hreidarsson (foot tendon) are still on the road to recovery and will not play at Ewood Park. Provisional squad: James, Kaboul, Mokoena, Mullins, Kanu, Basinas, Belhadj, Vanden Borre, Piquionne, Ben-Haim, Yebda, Dindane, Webber, Brown, Wilson, Ashdown, O'Hara, Boateng, Williamson, Smith.  CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND'S PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM NEWS  Explore more:People:Steve FinnanPlaces:Ewood Park
