Blackburn have been boosted by the news Ryan Nelsen's knee injury is not serious and he should be back within a month.
There were fears the New Zealand international had suffered serious knee ligament damage that could have ruled him out for the season when he limped off against Bolton, but thankfully that is not the case.
Such an injury would have also made the defender a serious doubt for the World Cup in South Africa this summer but now he could be back within two weeks or a month at the latest after just twisting ligaments in his knee.
The news will come as huge relief to Rovers, who will have Chris Samba back from suspension this weekend and he will be ready to deputise against Liverpool.
