Tony Mowbray has confirmed his side will not panic buy in the January transfer window, despite a growing number of absentees in his squad.
Blackburn Rovers have been in stunning form recently, recording 26 points from their last ten fixtures. However, the Lancashire club have been operating with a relatively thin squad in recent weeks, as their injury list continues to grow. Despite this, Mowbray insisted his club have enough young talent to cope with missing members.
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, he said: “We won’t do that, we won’t bring players in for the sake of it.
“We have young players, we’ll play Garrett and the young players that have been around our squad to fill the bench.
“We have some really important versatile players, John Buckley can play right wing-back because he can play anywhere.”
Rovers currently sit just outside the automatic promotion spots, only missing out on goal difference.
Undefeated in the league since early November, their most recent win came on the weekend as they beat Cardiff City 1-0 inside the Welsh capital.
However, the journey was completed with only 18 players in the squad – Tyrhys Dolan missed out through an injury sustained in training mid-week.
And the boss offered fans a positive update following his injury scare on Thursday.
He said: “Numbers are tight, Dolan wasn’t here, he’s nicked his hamstring a little bit and so we don’t want to put him in if it’s going to make it worse.
“We’ll see if he’s right for Wednesday but I don’t think he will be.
“The numbers are tight but we’ve got some young players behind who’d be desperate to be on our bench and have a chance of playing for Blackburn Rovers.”
