Blackburn Rovers injury crisis eases ahead of Millwall match
Summary

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray reports that the club's injury situation is improving. Andri Gudjohnsen returned to training on Thursday and is expected to be available for Saturday's home fixture against Millwall. Moussa Baradji could also make his first appearance of the season as a substitute. The squad struggled during Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United, where the team played without a recognized striker. While the injury news is positive, Mowbray stated that the proposed signing of free agent Ryotaro Ito is unlikely to proceed. Blackburn currently sits 10 places behind Millwall in the league standings, having earned only one point from their last four matches. The team continues to search for a result to improve their current league position.
