Article body
Fitness concern
The 32-year-old Italian has been struggling with the problem and was sidelined for Monday's 1-0 home defeat by Charlton Athletic FC. Amoruso signed a three-year contract with the English club in June after ending a six-year stay with Scottish champions Rangers FC.
Todd back
Blackburn have major defensive problems as Craig Short, Markus Babbel and Lucas Neill are all unavailable. Andrew Todd has been recalled from a loan spell at first division Burnley FC and should play in Saturday's league match at Southampton FC.
