Blackburn suffer Amoruso blow
Blackburn Rovers defender Lorenzo Amoruso
Amoruso joined Blackburn in the summer
Blackburn could be without defender Lorenzo Amoruso for up to three months following a knee operation.

The former Rangers captain had surgery to correct the problem after an exploratory examination.

Amoruso is now unlikely to play before the New Year, according to the club website.

It a further blow for manager Graeme Souness, who signed the Italian in the summer.

Defenders Craig Short and Markus Babbel have also suffered injury setbacks and Andy Todd has been recalled from Burnley.

Todd played in Monday's home defeat to Charlton.

Blackburn are already missing central defender Craig Short and the on-loan Markus Babbel through injury.
