Darragh Lenihan back in Blackburn contention

Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray is preparing to shuffle his defence for the visit of bottom-of-the-table Barnsley in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.

Mowbray could hand a start to defender Darragh Lenihan, who is available after a near two-month absence with a knee injury.

He could have to replace his Republic of Ireland team-mate Derrick Williams, who is set to miss out after picking up a knock playing for his country against New Zealand.

Defender Ryan Nyambe will be checked on after he returned from a lengthy journey to represent Namibia with a bug.

Barnsley’s new head coach Gerhard Struber has no fresh injury concerns to contend with ahead of his first game in charge.

He has taken over a side who have not won in their last 16 matches in all competitions since the opening day of the season.

The former Wolfsberger boss is set refresh his squad following their 4-2 home defeat by Stoke in their last match a fortnight ago.

Austrian goalkeeper Sami Radlinger, who was on the bench against Stoke after recovering from knee ligament damage, is hoping to get the nod to start from his fellow countryman.
