‘The worst luck’, ‘At least it’s happened during the transfer window’ – Plenty of Blackburn fans react to significant player update | OneFootball

Blackburn Rovers have been dealt a heavy blow, after it was revealed that new signing Dilan Markanday is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Markanday only joined Blackburn in a permanent deal from Tottenham earlier this week, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal at Ewood Park.

The winger then went on to make his debut for the club in their 2-0 defeat at Hull on Wednesday night, coming on as a second-half substitute.

However, despite some bright moments in that game, manager Tony Mowbray revealed on Saturday that during that outing, Markanday picked up a significant hamstring injury, that is likely to keep him out of action for a considerable length of time.

That is a big blow for Rovers, who were unable to find a replacement for last season’s top scorer Adam Armstrong in the summer window, and also lost on-loan Leeds winger Ian Poveda to a serious injury back in November.
