Blackburn Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray expects Nigeria international Ryan Alebiosu to be fit for the club’s Championship fixture against Lincoln City this weekend.
Alebiosu was replaced by Lucas Houghton in the closing stages of Blackburn’s goalless draw with Preston North End on Tuesday night, a late withdrawal that sparked some concern over his fitness ahead of Saturday’s game.
“Fragile At Times, But He’ll Be Ready”
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, Mowbray played down fears the right-back could miss the fixture, describing Alebiosu as a wonderful talent who can be fragile at times, but said he trusted the club’s physio department to get him ready for the weekend.
A Regular Under Mowbray
Alebiosu has featured five times across all competitions for Blackburn this season, registering one assist.
