Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has said that playmaker Bradley Dack has trained and will be assessed ahead of their midweek clash with Derby County.
Blackburn Rovers star Bradley Dack has trained ahead of Tuesday night’s game against Derby County, while captain Charlie Mulgrew could miss out.
Dack was left out of Saturday’s defeat to Stoke City after suffering a hamstring injury in training prior to the game, and Mowbray has said that he is not sure whether or not he will be involved against Derby.
“I’m not sure, to be honest,” he told the Lancashire Telegraph.
“Here we are on a Monday morning before training, he’s going to train today, and we will assess after training whether he’s going to be involved.
“He walked off training after 20 minutes on Thursday. He wanted to play on Saturday but yet you don’t walk off training on a Thursday and then are ready to go on Saturday. We’ll have to assess whether he can go again on Tuesday.
“Bradley will want to play, as he always wants to play. We need to make sure that if he’s going to be 100 per cent and give everything he’s got.
“After watching training and speaking to him, we will make that decision.”
Skipper Charlie Mulgrew was substituted at half-time in Blackburn’s defeat to Stoke City and may not be involved on Tuesday night. Mowbray will make a decision whether to include him in the squad or rest him until the weekend.
“Probably. Charlie has jarred his ankle a little bit in a challenge and we will have to make a decision on him.
“The call is whether to strap it up and send him out there or do we give him another four days to recover.
“We’re okay in that position. I thought Derrick came on and did very well in the second half.
“We’ll assess it today. I haven’t sat down and definitively pick the team. We will train today, see how a few are in training and this afternoon sit with the staff and pick a team we feel will give us the best chance of a result.”
