Blackburn v Derby preview
Thursday 22 October 2015 07:56, UK
Adam Henley's suspension means Blackburn will have to make a change at right-back for the visit of Derby.
The Wales international was sent off against MK Dons on Saturday, resulting in a one-match suspension, so winger Ben Marshall looks set to fill in on the right-hand side of Gary Bowyer's defence.
Bowyer expects Corry Evans (groin) and Markus Olsson (illness) to be available but Wednesday night is likely to be too soon for Fode Koita (hamstring) and Danny Guthrie (thigh).
Blackburn's long-term absentees are striker Chris Brown (knee) and midfielder Jason Lowe (foot).
Jeff Hendrick is a doubt for Derby ahead of the trip to Ewood Park.

The Republic of Ireland international reported for training on Tuesday but was sent home due to illness and he will be checked on before head coach Paul Clement finalises his plans.
Clement has plenty of options available to him should Hendrick not make it with Chris Baird, Jacob Butterfield and Jamie Hanson all ready to come into central midfield.
Fellow midfielder Craig Bryson and defender Jake Buxton have resumed training following lengthy lay-offs with respective knee and back problems but it will be a couple of weeks until they are considered for first-team selection.
Derby can be backed at 7/5 with Sky Bet for victory at Blackburn on Wednesday night. Rovers are on offer at 7/4 and the draw is priced up at 23/10.
The Rams are unbeaten in six games with five victories in that run. Paul Clement's men beat Wolves 4-2 on Sunday afternoon and Sky Bet go 66/1 for a win by the same scoreline at Ewood Park.
Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway is backing Chris Martin to score in a Derby win at 3/1.
