Christopher Samba will miss out on Blackburn's weekend match against Arsenal as Steve Kean drops the defender from the side.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has revealed that he will not include Christopher Samba in his team to face Arsenal on Saturday.

The Rovers captain has had a tumultuous few months at Ewood Park after submitting a transfer request at the beginning of January.

Despite announcing his intention to leave the struggling Premier League side, the 27-year-old failed to find a switch away from the Lancashire club before the end of the transfer window.

While Kean is delighted to keep hold of Samba, the Scottish manager said in a press conference today that he will exclude the defender from his match-day squad this weekend.
