The injuries and suspensions are piling up at Preston North End’s Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers ahead of Friday.
Blackburn Rovers are enduring injury turmoil ahead of their clash with Preston North End on Friday night. The first Lancashire Derby of the season takes place at Ewood Park, in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Blackburn, who won at Norwich City on Sunday evening, are set to be without several key players though. In the closing stages of their 3-1 win at Carrow Road, defender Scott Wharton was shown a straight red card.
After Wharton's red card, Rovers wide man Joe Rankin-Costello went off with a hamstring injury which ‘didn’t look great’ according to Tomasson. The blows to Wharton and Rankin-Costello come amid the absences of central defenders Dom Hyam and Hayden Carter. Hyam will be 'out for a while' after suffering an ankle injury towards the end of last month. He is ruled out until after the international break.
