ROVERS have just a couple of absentees for Wednesday night's Ewood Park clash against Wigan Athletic - kick-off 8.00pm.

After the excitement of the Carling Cup it is back to the bread and butter of the Barclays Premier League with Rovers looking for back-to-back home wins.

Sam Allardyce welcomes Jason Roberts back into his squad for the first time in over a fortnight as the former Wigan frontman has recovered from a knee injury, whilst David Dunn has recovered from the knock that forced him off in the match against Aston Villa last Wednesday.

Vince Grella remains on the sidelines with a thigh strain whilst Chris Samba serves a one-match ban following his sending off last time out.

The manager will select from: Robinson, Chimbonda, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Emerton, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Olsson, Kalinić, Brown, Di Santo, Salgado, Jones, Roberts, Reid, Andrews, Diouf, Hoilett.
