Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn is hoping to shake off a hip injury to make Rovers clash with Arsenal on April 2.

The 31-year-old has missed the club’s previous three fixtures and is now aiming to make his comeback for the trip to the Emirates on April 2.

With Rovers just two points above the relegation zone Dunn is hoping to return to action and help ensure thir Premier League survival.

“I’ll work on my fitness over the next week or so, but I’ll hopefully be available to play some part in the Arsenal game,” he told reporters.

“It was quite a bad tear but things have steadily improved and I’m looking forward to getting back playing and hopefully playing a part in getting these wins that we need.”

Dunn is in a buoyant mood ahead of the trip to Arsenal and insists the team are capable of picking up enough points until the end of the season to keep them in the division.

He said: “We’re confident that we can get these few extra wins that we need to stay in the Premier League.

“If we can go to Arsenal and get something there then we can go into the home games against Birmingham and Bolton full of confidence.”
