The football family was rocked again today with the news that Blackburn fullback Gael Givet will not be available for tonight's game, as his ankle injury has failed to clear up.
His manager Steve Kean explained in a hastily organised press conference that whilst this is a difficult time for the player and the club, it was his wish that the game went ahead.
Both sides will wear T-shirts during the pre-match warm up to show support for the player during these dark days, and during the match everyone will start randomly applauding the French defender for no apparent reson.
Givet earlier tweeted "Tant pis, not playing tonight so off to Dubai shopping"
