Mowbray relieved to have Rovers players returning

Blackburn Rovers finally have choices to make with their team selection following an injury crisis, head coach Tony Mowbray has said.

Midfielder Moussa Baradji is set to feature in Saturday's Championship match at Portsmouth (15:00 BST) while defender Hayden Carter has played a part in the past two games.

"Hayden and Moussa are back in the picture so it's good to have a few more choices off the bench rather than the academy kids," Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I'm excited by Moussa over how powerful and technical he is. (Andri) Gudjohnsen came off the bench and scored a goal last week so he's looking good and training well.
