Blackburn Rovers fans may not have seen the last of Emmanuel Dennis just yet. After missing two crucial league games, there’s a sense of anticipation swirling around the forward’s potential return.
But what exactly is the latest on his condition—and could this be the turning point he’s been waiting for?
Emmanuel Dennis injury update brings hope to Rovers camp
Manager Valerien Ismael has delivered a promising update on the Super Eagles’ star injury, confirming the Nigerian could be back in the squad as early as next week, Footballrover reports.
The news also included similar timelines for Callum Brittain and Augustus Kargbo, who are nursing their own knocks.
“We’ve not lost anyone from the game against Middlesbrough, which is good news. All the players have recovered from that game and give us the possibility of making changes,” Ismael told the press ahead of their midweek clash with Sheffield Wednesday.
Dennis, 27, arrived at Ewood Park on loan from Nottingham Forest in January, hoping to reignite a career that once sparkled brightly at Watford.
Before his recent setback, he had begun to show flashes of that old form—most notably an assist in the 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City.
Rovers eyeing boost after Emmanuel Dennis injury update
The forward has battled inconsistency since his move to Forest, with minutes and form hard to come by.
However, his return could add much-needed firepower to Blackburn’s attack—and maybe even revive his international prospects.
“This week won’t be possible for some who are injured, but we’re hopeful that they will be back next week to give us more options and a different profile,” Ismael added.
As Blackburn continue their climb up the Championship ladder, all eyes will be on Dennis. Will this be his long-awaited resurgence? Time—and fitness—will tell.
