Blackburn Rovers suspension blow with star close to ban

His second-half booking at Wrexham means he won't be available for the trip to South Wales, which is a blow.

Morsy's impact on the side has been evident, with Tony Mowbray paying tribute and outlining the role he's played in helping mainly Kristi Montgomery but then Moussa Baradji at the weekend.

"He's having a pretty big influence," Mowbray said.

"You saw what happened when I brought him in. It was to balance two 35-year-olds, rotating with Forshaw.

"Adam is now a long-term situation but Morsy has made himself a player who has to play. As Kristi has but then Moussa performs like that so that will be interesting going forward.

"Morsy is a proper leader of footballers. Knows what is right or wrong; had huge success at Ipswich.

"I tell him to get Moussa through the game, pull him central, make sure he does X and Y. Sam will be in his ear all game and encouraging him.

"He's very good, I like him as a human being."

Todd Cantwell also collected his fourth yellow card of the season and so is now walking a tightrope to avoid a one-match ban.

The cut-off is after the 19th match of the campaign, which is away at Bolton Wanderers on December 5. That means Cantwell has seven matches to navigate to avoid a suspension.
