PORTUGUESE midfielder Diogo Rosado will make his first Blackburn Rovers start in this afternoon's Championship match at Middlesbrough.
Rosado is one of three changes made to the side who lost at Blackpool last time out, as Henning Berg looks for just his second win as Rovers boss.
Rosado replaces Simon Vukcevic, while Danny Murphy returns to the side in place of Dickson Etuhu in the centre of midfield.
Grant Hanley resumes his partnership with Scott Dann in the heart of the defence, with Gael Givet back on the substitutes bench.
Goalkeeper Paul Robinson is not included on the bench, with the club saying he is suffering from a back injury.
