GOALKEEPER Jason Steele has been recalled by Blackburn Rovers for their Championship clash at Fulham this afternoon.
Steele, who made his debut for the club in last season’s corresponding clash, which Rovers won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Jordan Rhodes, replaces David Raya, who had started the season as Gary Bowyer's number one.
Rovers boss Bowyer, whose third-from-bottom side have yet to win this season, has also made a change in midfield.
Ex-Fulham man Danny Guthrie has taken the place of Jason Lowe, who misses out with a foot injury.
The Cottagers, whose line-up includes former Rovers midfielders Tom Cairney and Ryan Tunnicliffe, make one change to the team that won 3-1 at Rotherham United before the international break.
Centre-back Richard Stearman, a new £2m signing from Wolves, replaces Dan Burn.
Fulham: Lonergan, Richards, Stearman, Ream, Husband, Cairney, Tunnicliffe, O'Hara, Pringle, McCormack, Dembele. Subs: Lewis, Burn, Mattila, Kacaniklic, Woodrow, Christensen, Fredericks.
Rovers: Steele, Henley, Duffy, Hanley, Spurr, Conway, Guthrie, Evans, Marshall, Delfouneso, Rhodes. Subs: Raya, Kilgallon, Koita, Olsson, Lawrence, Williamson, Akpan.
