JORDAN Rhodes has been recalled to the Blackburn Rovers starting line-up for their Championship clash with Roses rivals Leeds United at Ewood Park this afternoon.
The prolific striker, having started from the bench in Rovers’ 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion two weeks ago, replaces Ryan Tunnicliffe and will partner top-scorer Rudy Gestede in a two-man attack.
Leeds, who will be backed by 6,900 fans, are unchanged from the team that started their morale-boosting 3-1 home win over Blackpool before the international break.
Rovers: Steele, Baptiste, Hanley, Duffy, Olsson, Cairney, Evans, Williamson, Marshall, Rhodes, Gestede. Subs: Eastwood, Henley, Dunn, Varney, Taylor, Tunnicliffe, Conway.
Leeds: Silvestri, Byram, Pearce, Cooper, Warnock, Mowatt, Cook, Bianchi, Adryan, Doukara, Antenucci. Subs: Taylor, Berardi, Bellusci, Austin, Tonge, Dawson, Sharp.
