Rovers midfielder Tronstad doubtful for Derby trip

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Sondre Tronstad is a major doubt for Saturday's Championship match at Derby County.

The 30-year-old was forced off at half-time of Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Bristol City.

"He came off with a bit of a knee injury so is a major doubt at the moment," Blackburn head coach Michael O'Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"He's still being assessed but he couldn't get through the game and we'll see how he goes over the next 48 hours."

Tronstad has only missed five of Rovers' 34 league games this season and is in his third campaign with the club.

"He's an experienced player and in the short space of time I've been here I've been impressed by his character and level of play so we 'll have to see how he goes over the next period of time, but he's a loss to the squad," added O'Neill.

Blackburn are currently 20th in the Championship, four points clear of the relegation zone.
