Sam facing keeper dilemma
Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce has a goalkeeping dilemma on his hands ahead of Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Fulham.
Allardyce may be forced to hand a league debut to Mark Bunn as regular number one Paul Robinson is struggling with a shoulder problem while Jason Brown is hampered by the groin strain he picked up in the goalless draw with Everton.
Bunn's only previous Rovers appearance came in the FA Cup against non-league Blyth Spartans in January.
"Both aren't 100 per cent yet but we hope that by Wednesday at least one will be fit to play," Allardyce told the club's official website.
"We do have Mark Bunn as well and he's had three games for Leicester (on loan) recently so he's had some very good practice if we need to call on him.
"So we'll see how that situation pans out in the next 24 hours, and it could be any one of those three that starts against Fulham."
Meanwhile, Allardyce has also admitted that striker Roque Santa Cruz is a major doubt with a knee problem.
Midfielders David Dunn and Vince Grella have already been ruled out through injury.
