It was never going to be easy for The Wanderers to get a result at Stamford Bridge but who would have known that it was going to so easy for Chelsea.

Former Bolton manager Sam Alladyce revealed that some of Blackburn's players played against Chelsea despite showing some symptoms of Swine Flu. Big Sam is concerned about the virus but The Wanderers' current manager is not perturbed by an apparent outbreak at The Reebok Stadium.

In a statement on the official Rovers website Big Sam said;

"Obviously, we've had two players who have been particularly poorly with it, and we've had a few more that have had something which looked like the symptoms, but they still managed to travel with us and get through the game at Chelsea.
