Blackburn's injury list shows no sign of abating over time for their home clash with Barnsley. Rovers have endured a painful commence to the season, following up a draw to Derby with three successive defeats and perhaps they are without seven members with their first-team squad from the Tykes.
Forward Ruben Rochina (shoulder) is months far from coming back while former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson (back) and midfielder Dickson Etuhu (knee) continue to be a way off ever coming back to the reckoning.
There're, however, making good progress, along with striker DJ Campbell (ankle) and defender Adam Henley (hamstring). Midfielder Lee Williamson (back) could be back because of the end on the month while summer signing Matt Killgallon (groin) awaits his debut.
Barnsley's new signing Marcus Pedersen is hoping to make his debut at Ewood Park. The Norway international joined on loan until the end with the season from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem on Thursday and will be incorporated into David Flitcroft's squad, be subject to international clearance.
Another new signing, former Rochdale and Celtic winger Paddy McCourt, isn't anticipated to feature. Defender Lewin Nyatanga (hamstring) is hopeful of making his debut since returning to the club during the summer time, but Martin Cranie (knee) remains sidelined.
Midfielder Kelvin Etuhu is pushing in the first place after making his debut of the season over bench against Charlton a week ago using a hamstring injury.
