Pongo injured

Pongolle was withdrawn against Millwall after 55 minutes following a nasty tackle by brain donor Kevin Muscat and has failed to recover in time for the Reds' trip to Ewood Park.

Luckily the injury isn't too serious and Pongo should be back in training next week.

Rafael Benitez said: "Sinama-Pongolle will not be available for Blackburn but I hope he will be back next week."
