Rovers Prepare For Europe

[bellamy11]

Tonight Blackburn Rovers begin their much-awaited UEFA Cup campaign against FC Salzburg.

Manager Mark Hughes is rumoured to be considering playing a 4-5-1 formation against the in-form Austrians, with Benni McCarthy towing the line up front and Steven Reid returning to midifeld.

Rovers will be without star defender Ryan Nelsen and striker Jason Roberts, but the majority of the squad is fit and looking to star on the continent.

Unfortunately, no British TV broadcasters are showing the game live, but live radio commentary will be available from BBC Radio Lancashire.
