Blackburn Rovers Football Club midfielder Vince Grella faces a spell on the sidelines.

The Australian international picked up a hamstring injury during the 2-0 defeat against Chelsea on Sunday, and he is expected to be out for at least four weeks.

Grella has not yet hand chance to make any sort of impression for Rovers due to a stop-start campaign, but Paul Ince will be hoping this is the last setback suffered by the player.
