Kargbo and Dennis could return for Watford game
"Heading in the right direction..." - Blackburn Rovers head coach Valerien Ismael

Blackburn Rovers forwards Augustus Kargbo and Emmanuel Dennis have returned to training and could be available for the home game against Watford on Saturday (15:00 BST).
January transfer Kargbo has missed the past eight games with a hamstring issue, while Nottingham Forest loanee Dennis has been ruled out of the previous six.
"They are available for the game but we will see, especially with AK [Kargbo]. If it makes sense to pick him straight away now or to wait for the next game, but at least they're back in training so it looks better now," Rovers boss Valerien Ismael told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Both players will be a boost to Blackburn's attacking profile come the weekend but it is not just the immediate future that Ismael has put his thoughts to.
The Frenchman is already considering how to improve his front line during the summer transfer window, and is seeking a player who will provide both pace and quality in transition to fill gaps in his current squad.
"You have to be creative. I know exactly the right profile with my data. It takes time to find the player, but when we get the player it will be easy to deal with," Ismael added.
"The right player is not necessarily the expensive one with my way to play.
"We are already ahead. We've judged on the players so I think we're in a good timing at the minute."
