Blackburn Rovers struggle with squad depth and injury concerns

Blackburn Rovers currently face a significant shortage of fit players as manager Tony Mowbray navigates early-season injury setbacks. The squad has utilized 23 different players across just six Championship matches, with recent injury reports including striker Andri Gudjohnsen. Despite registering 19 attempts on goal in their latest outing, the team continues to concede soft goals and has suffered three consecutive 2-1 defeats. Mowbray highlighted that the lack of depth prevents him from effectively adjusting matches from the bench compared to more robustly stocked opponents. Blackburn Rovers now hold two fewer points than at the corresponding stage last season as they prepare for upcoming fixtures against Millwall and Portsmouth.
