Mark Hughes will call on his Blackburn Rovers players to step things up tonight when they take on Olympiakos in the second of their two friendlies in Germany.

The Greek champions, who could have the Brazilian Rivaldo in their line-up, will provide another stiff test of Rovers' mettle, but Hughes is confident his players are more than equipped for the challenge.

"They won their domestic title last year so they'll be another good side," said the Rovers boss.

"I'm not quite sure where they are in their physical preparations, but it's the right quality game at the right time for us.

"If Rivaldo plays then it will be interesting for the guys to test themselves against him.

"On his day, he was one of the great players.

"But we'll just have to wait and see what their side is because I'm not aware of who has travelled with them."
