Blackburn to assess Alebiosu and Atcheson before West Ham visit

Blackburn have two selection questions before West Ham's visit on Saturday. Ryan Alebiosu limped off against Stoke, and the Lancashire Telegraph reports that Blackburn are waiting on a scan. Manager Tony Mowbray said the right-back could still play, depending on the result.

Tom Atcheson missed the midweek game and the next training session with a knock. Mowbray described it as a minor niggle but said Atcheson would need to train before Blackburn decide whether he can face West Ham. Neither player's availability is settled.
