Rovers set to be without trio for visit of Leeds
- Published
Blackburn will be without three senior players for the visit of Championship leaders Leeds on Saturday.
Forward Andi Weimann, goalkeeper Balazs Toth and midfielder Arnor Sigurdsson sat out Wednesday鈥檚 win at Middlesbrough and boss John Eustace says they will also miss the meeting with the Whites at Ewood Park, and potentially the trips to Hull and Sheffield Wednesday in the first 10 days of December too.
While Sigurdsson has not featured since appearing off the bench against Watford in October, Weimann and Toth are new additions to the injury list, with the Austrian having scored twice in Rovers' 3-1 win at Cardiff in their previous game on 9 November.
"Andi's been playing the last four or five games with a knee injury, which swelled up a little bit on Tuesday,"
"We're not taking any risks with him, we've got it scanned and he's unfortunately going to be out for a couple of weeks, but it could have been a lot worse.
"That shows Andi, with his experience and quality, and how he was getting through games. His work ethic has been great and we'll get him rested and ready to get back to full fitness."
Eustace also revealed Toth had rolled an ankle during the international break, adding: "He鈥檚 going to be three or four weeks and that's going to be a blow for us.
"Siggy came back from his injury last week and just pulled up a little bit. He's going to be another couple of weeks."
