Leeds winger Poveda hands Blackburn injury concern

Blackburn Rovers have injury concerns for on-loan Leeds winger Ian Poveda.

Poveda suffered a serious injury blow in Blackburn 1-1 draw with Bristol City on Saturday.

Speaking after the game, Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has admitted he is concerned by the severity of the injury.

He said: “He's gone to hospital, we're really concerned about ligament damage, he's in a lot of discomfort.

“Normally we would have put him on the bus and let him get a scan [on Sunday] but we are concerned about him.

“A lad who was just finding his feet for us, he has that bit of magic dust, can beat people on the edge of the box and score.

“It'll be a blow if it's a bad one.

“He will have a scan and see what the damage is and hopefully it will be good news."
