Cozier-Duberry trains ahead of Pompey game

Amario Cozier-Duberry joined Blackburn on a season-long loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer

Blackburn Rovers have been handed an injury boost with Amario Cozier-Duberry returning to first-team training ahead of Saturday's game with Portsmouth.

Rovers head coach John Eustace confirmed Cozier-Duberry is in contention to play this weekend after the Brighton loanee was ruled out of the last six matches with an ankle injury.

"Amario's joined back in this week which is obviously great," Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire.

The 19-year-old has been joined in training by Liverpool loanee Owen Beck who had also missed the previous two fixtures.

"We've got Becky back in which is good as well, so, we're getting our bodies back.

"We've got a really big run of games now - 23 games until the next international break - so it's important we get our bodies back and they're all going to play a huge part in what's going to happen in the next couple of months."

Arnor Sigurdsson, however, is a major doubt for the weekend.

"Siggy, unfortunately, had a slight knock on Monday so we're assessing him," Eustace added.

"Its been a really frustrating period for Siggy - he just hasn't been able to get up to speed.

"We hope he gets fit as soon as possible because he's certainly got match-winning quality in his boots."
