Fantasy Premier League

Blackburn Rovers defender Andre Ooijer will be out for at least a month with a torn hamstring. The Dutch international sustained the injury in last weekend's 1-0 Premier League home loss to West Ham United.

At least it is good timing with Nelsen coming off a 2-match ban. Ooijer has improved this season - though how hard is that considering he began his Premier League career with something like two red cards, more penalties conceeded, and a long injury.  He was a train wreck.  But Rovers will have their first choice XI on the field at Wigan.  And that means Emerton-Samba-Nelsen-Warnock.  They need a win here to stop a really bad run of form and I expect Wigan to pay for it.
