A Rovers spokesman said last night(Sunday) that "A couple of cases of swine flu have been confirmed and other members of the squad have complained of virus-like symptoms." This may partly explain the debacle we witnessed in the 2nd half on Saturday.The players in question happen to be Dunn and Samba who were both missing at Chelsea.

There is now a serious doubt as to whether the League Cup tie against Peterborough will take place at Ewood on Tuesday. It appears that the club tried to get the FA to cancel the Bridge fixture at the11th hour but as FA policy dictates, this is a privilege reserved for the Big 4!

All Rovers fans will wish Dunny and Samba well and we should know more when the club releases information later in the day.
