Blackburn Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray has confirmed that Super Eagles defender Ryan Alebiosu was withdrawn at half-time during Saturday's 3-1 victory over Millwall because of illness — not a fresh injury.
Alebiosu had been struggling with poor health for several days before the match, completing only light recovery sessions rather than full training. Mowbray told the Lancashire Telegraph that the volume of games played in a short period had taken a toll on the defender's body.
