Blackburn boss urging fringe player's to seize the moment

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is confident his fringe players will mitigate the injury crisis at Ewood Park. Rovers are set to be without a number of key players for this weekend's clash with Manchester City stretching Kean's squad to its limits.

"There are a lot of injuries from one game (Newcastle) and you can take that if you get something from the game, but not to get anything from it is tough.," Kean told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"We will get back on the training ground, prepare ourselves in the right way, see what bodies we can get and we will go again.

"Some of the players who perhaps haven't had much of a run this season could get their chance. Obviously if the injuries tot up then the lads that have the opportunity have to grab that.

"If they get given the chance then they have to take it and these times are always a time when you look at the depth of the squad and thankfully we have other players in these positions and they can come in and play."
