Blackburn Rovers v Leeds Utd

Saturday 4th June 2020 at 3.00pm | Ewood Park


Leeds have injury concerns about Captain Liam Cooper and utility player Stuart Dallas for the trip of Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon.

Dallas is set to miss out due to a slight hamstring pull, whilst Coopers injury was considered 'nothing more than a kick to the back’ according to Phil Hay.

Jean-Kevin Augustins season has come to a premature end. The 23yo has flown back to Germany after Leeds chose not to renew his contract.

On form Alioski will deputise for the Northern Ireland International whilst Berardi stands by incase Coopers condition worsens.

Tony Mobray's side have slipped to 10th in the table after back-to-back defeats at Wigan Athletic and Barnsley, denting Rovers play off hopes. They are now five points adrift from a play off place.

They will be desperate to try and bag three points on Saturday to keep their play off dreams alive.

Rovers will also be without striker Ben Brereton who was sent off in Tuesday night's loss at Barnsley just seven minutes after coming off the bench as a sub.

Following Leeds slip ping to a 1-1 draw against lowly Luton midweek, they remain a point ahead of the Baggies who occupy the second play off space and 5 points ahead of in form Brentford who have a +10 better goal difference than the Whites.
