Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbray says Ryan Alebiosu will undergo a scan after suffering an injury against Stoke.
Alebiosu was forced off in the game, with Blackburn now waiting to learn the extent of the problem.

“He came into the team meeting limping pretty heavily,” Mowbray said.
“I think he’ll probably have a scan. I don’t know; let’s wait to see it.
“I don’t want to speculate; there’s every chance he could be out there on Saturday. But if the scan shows something specifically, he probably won’t be.”
Tom Atcheson is also a doubt for the weekend’s game against West Ham after missing the Stoke game and the following training session because of a knock.
Mowbray, though, played down the seriousness of the issue.
“He’ll have to train tomorrow if he is going to be involved against West Ham,” he said.

“I don’t think he’s a major concern for the medical department. You’d call it a minor niggle probably; if he’d played, he could have turned into a major niggle, and we didn’t think it was worth the risk of playing.”
