Yuri Ribeiro, Emmanuel Dennis, and Cauley Woodrow will play important minutes for Blackburn Rovers’ Under-21s on Wednesday night when they face Athletic Bilbao.
Mike Sheron’s squad will play their final Premier League International Cup match against the Spanish side at Accrington Stanley’s Wham Stadium. Rovers understand that a win will secure second place in their group and a position in the knockout rounds.
Perhaps more crucially, Riberio, Dennis, and Woodrow are all set to appear. It will be a vital step towards the hat-trick of deadline-day arrivals, who might make their FA Cup debut against Wolves this weekend.
Only Dion Sanderson is cup-tied among Rovers’ January signings. Eustace will look to rotate and use his team against the Premier League outfit after seven defeats in 11 league outings.
Dennis hasn’t played any football this season and needs match action to get back to full speed. Woodrow has been associated with Luton Town, but has not started many games.
The first game was called off due to fog, and all tickets purchased for that game will still be valid. Kickoff is at 7 p.m., with tickets priced at £5 for adults and £3 for all season ticket holders who want to watch the new signings in action and support the club.
