As it stands, Blackburn Rovers are facing somewhat of a selection conundrum heading into this weekend’s clash with Birmingham City.
Thomas Kaminski has spent the last two games on the sidelines through a stomach injury, with Aynsley Pears stepping in. In his two Championship outings for Rovers, Pears has managed to keep two clean sheets, also seeing out a clean sheet when Kaminski came off injured vs Stoke City at the end of November.
Dowling is yet to make an appearance for Blackburn’s first-team and has only one appearance for the club’s U23s. Much of his game time while with the Championship club has come for the U18s, keeping four clean sheets in 15 outings for the youngsters.
