A fracture rules Augustus Kargbo out for 64 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Blackburn Rovers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ryan Alebiosu asks to leave Blackburn Rovers
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The manager makes an example of Connor O'Riordan
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

7 new boys at the Blackburn Rovers academy
Signed today, seen by nobody for years, and one of them may one day be the reason the club exists. That is the whole of the argument for an academy, and it is a good one.
