The Chilean team played the 90′ in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool, for the date 41 of the Championship. Since February 14, the day of his injury, he had not been with Rovers from the start. His cast is seventh in the table, even outside the Premier League third-place playoff zone.
Ben Brereton Díaz started again with the Blackburn Rovers shirt. Overcome by his ankle injury, which had him between two cottons in the Chilean team for the closing of the Qualifiers, he returned this Saturday to play 90 minutes in his club, which is not experiencing its best moment in the Championship.
The presence of the Chilean-English striker was not enough for its workforce. In a duel corresponding to the date 41, Blackburn drew 1-1 with Blackpool and continue to slip away from promotion positions to the Premiership, and even the playoffs aspire to rise to the highest category of demanding British football. Brereton’s side took the lead with a 10th-minute goal from Sam Gallagher. Later, at the start of the second half, the visit equalized thanks to the goal of Marvin Ekpiteta (48th).
Since February 14, Ben Brereton has not started a match with his club. On this occasion, Rovers traveled to West Bromwich Albion, the same day he was injured, Situation that struggled to bring more than a month and generated a controversy between his team and La Roja, due to the player’s availability in the qualifying duels against Brazil and Uruguay. On the previous date, after returning from Chile, he played the second half of the duel against Coventry City. But today it was stellar again.
The Championship standings reflect Blackburn’s defeat. The team led by Tony Mowbray sit seventh in the standings, with 63 points after 41 games played. It’s out of the zone playoffs for a place in the Premier, and 10 direct promotion points. The pointer is Fulham, with 83 units, which also has the top scorer in the championship: the Serb Aleksandar Mitrovic, with 38. The second is Bournemouth, with 73.
Then, from third to sixth in the table, they pass in a group for the third promoted to the first division. Today, the teams occupying these positions are Nottingham Forest (67), Huddersfield Town (66), Luton Town (65) and Sheffield United (65). Only then do Blackburn appear, who also have two more games than the top three in the table.
In the home stretch of the vast championship, the objective begins to fade for Brereton and company.
