BLACKBURN Rovers have made five changes for their penultimate clash of the Championship campaign away to Roses rivals Huddersfield Town.
Darragh Lenihan, 21, makes his full Rovers debut after stand-in skipper Matt Kilgallon injured his thigh in Tuesday’s 2-0 home win over Millwall.
Former Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes sealed that success and his reward is a recall to the frontline alongside top-scorer Rudy Gestede.
Goalkeeper Simon Eastwood, right-back Adam Henley and centre-midfielder Lee Williamson have also been brought back into the side.
Rovers’ bench includes fit-again attackers Josh King and David Dunn.
Huddersfield make one change to the team that started their 4-4 draw at home to Derby County last Saturday with on-loan Manchester United defender Reece James, who was born in Bacup, replaced by debutant Joe Wilkinson.
Huddersfield: Smithies, Lynch, Hudson, Wilkinson, Scannell, Butterfield, Coady, Gobern, Smith, Miller, Wells. Subs: Murphy, Edgar, Hogg, Vaughan, Wallace, Lolley, Bunn.
Rovers: Eastwood, Henley, Lenihan, Spurr, Olsson, P Taylor, Evans, Williamson, Conway, Gestede, Rhodes. Subs: Raya, King, Dunn, Brown, Cairney, Marshall, Spearing.
