Swine flu hits Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed three of his players are ill with swine flu ahead of tomorrow’s Carling Cup tie against Peterborough.



There are now believed to be five cases at the club in total.



Allardyce did not confirm the name of the players.



Allardyce had earlier told the club\'s official website that David Dunn and Chris Samba have a virus.



Reports had suggested the club would seek to postpone tomorrow’s tie but the game at Ewood Park is set to go ahead.



Both Dunn and Samba were missing from Blackburn\'s squad for the 5-nil defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.
