Rovers Suffer Emerton Blow

by Mark on December 16

Blackburn are likely to lose Brett Emerton for a period of weeks after the Aussie suffered a groin injury in last night’s 3-1 defeat to Birmingham.

Blackburn’s defence has caught the eye in recent weeks thanks in no small part to Nelsen’s goals and a run of three clean sheets prior to last night. Emerton himself has started to pick up slow interest from fantasy managers given that he was holding down a role on the right of the Rovers midfield, whilst being classed as a defender. This latest setback will now remove him from our radars for the time being. Emerton’s injury is described as a “groin strain” that could keep him out for 3-6 weeks, depending on its severity.

Having started in central midfield last night, Emerton’s place in the side is likely to go to Andrews or Diouf. Rovers expect to have Dunn and Grella back in contention for home game with Spurs this weekend.

No assist given as of yet, probably came from a burnley mistake

no assist:

Arsenal goal: Sheer persistence from Cesc Fabregas and the Gunners are ahead against the run of play as the Spaniard refuses to give up on the ball on the edge of the Burnley box and wins the ball from Clarke Carlisle before rolling into the net from 12 yards.

Arschavin hit the post, this could be a high scoring game – Looks like the gunners have something to prove to the manager after the roasting he gave them at H/T vs liverpool
