Enckelman joined Villa in 1999
|
Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enckelman has been allowed to join Blackburn on a month's loan deal.
The Premier League gave Rovers special dispensation to bring in Enckelman outside the transfer window after the club was hit by a glut of injuries.
With Alan Kelly and David Yelldell both injured, American Brad Friedel is the only senior goalkeeper available.
Enckelman is expected to be on the bench when Blackburn face Everton at home on 10 November.
The Finnish international joined Villa from his local side TPS Turku in February 1999 and has made 51 appearances for the club.
But he has never established himself as the number one at Villa Park and slipped further down the pecking order when David O'Leary signed Thomas Sorensen from Sunderland in the summer.
