Loanee Franny Jeffers will undergo a scan today before a decision is made on whether he will return to Blackburn. The former England international limped off in the first half of Saturday's game with a hamstring problem which he feared was a tear likely to keep him out of action for around six weeks.

Boss Jim Magilton told the club site he hopes the problem isn't as bad as initially thought: "It's obviously very disappointing for Franny and for us.

"Franny is still with us at the moment and he will have a scan today and then we will take it from there. We are hoping for the best but fearing the worst at the same time.

"The player is upset because he has been enjoying his football here and he's added some Premiership quality. He's been great for the other players around him here as well."
