GAEL Givet is not in Blackburn Rovers' squad for this afternoon's crucial Premier League trip to Swansea.

The experienced French defender has travelled with the squad, and is even kicking the ball around pre match, but has not been named in the starting line up or substitutes bench.

Morten Gamst Pedersen returns to the centre of midfield, with Mauro Formica dropping down to the bench.

Bradley Orr is expected to start at left back, with Martin Olsson a substitute, and Jason Lowe returns at right back.
