Blackburn manager Mark Hughes is confident Australian Brett Emerton will recover from a groin injury for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham at Upton Park.

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes is confident Australian Brett Emerton will recover from a groin injury for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham at Upton Park.

David Dunn has also fully fit after his calf injury but Hughes has a doubt over Steven Reid, who has missed training twice this week with a groin problem.

Defender Ryan Nelsen is still out with a calf injury as Hughes’ men go in search of the three points required to maintain their realistic UEFA Cup hopes.

Provisional squad: Friedel, Emerton, Samba, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Tugay, Dunn, Pedersen, Reid, Mokoena, Bentley, Roberts, Berner, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Rigters, Brown.
