Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has clashed with midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.

The Daily Star says N'Zonzi hit the roof after being told he was being left out of the side to face Norwich at Ewood Park today in favour of David Dunn.

The midfielder confronted Kean before storming off in protest to leave Rovers' preparations for this afternoon's crunch clash in turmoil.

N'Zonzi, 23, is not expected to be included in Kean's squad at all and there are now serious questions marks over his long-term future at the club.
