Blackburn will be without a quartet of experienced defenders for tomorrow night’s relegation clash with Bolton at Ewood Park.

Scott Dann was today ruled out for six weeks with a groin injury, joining Ryan Nelsen, Michel Salgado and Gael Givet on the sidelines.

The one piece of good news for Rovers, who remain second-bottom following their home defeat by West Brom on Saturday, is that Junior Hoilett has recovered from a hamstring strain and is available.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Bunn, Olsson, Samba, Lowe, Hanley, Nzonzi, Rochina, Pedersen, Petrovic, Dunn, Hoilett, Yakubu, Goodwillie, Formica, Roberts, Vukcevic, Slew, Blackman, Henley.
