Blackburn Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray expects Ryan Alebiosu to be fit for the club’s Championship fixture this weekend, reports Completesports.com.
Alebiosu was replaced by Lucas Houghton in the closing stages of Blackburn’s goalless draw against Preston North End on Tuesday night.
The Nigeria international’s late withdrawal sparked concerns over his fitness ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Lincoln City.

Mowbray, however, has played down fears that the right-back could miss the game.
“I would think Alebiosu will be okay. Whilst he’s a wonderful talent, he’s at times fragile,” Mowbray told the Lancashire Telegraph.
“But I think the right words in his ear from the physio department will get him ready for the weekend, I’m pretty sure.”
He has featured five times across all competitions for Blackburn this season, registering one assist.
