Rovers not the finished article - Morsy

Morsy says Blackburn are still developing as a team and can improve further, with a Lancashire derby at Burnley coming after the international break.

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Sam Morsy believes the Championship side has more to offer this season despite sitting 13th in the table, three points outside the play-off places. The 35-year-old Egypt international, who joined from Bristol City in August, told BBC Radio Lancashire the team is still growing and can improve.

"This is developing, we're not the finished article," Morsy said, adding that the squad still feels the effects of a difficult previous campaign but has strong team spirit and togetherness.

Rovers face a Lancashire derby at Burnley on Sunday, 22 November, their first meeting with their rivals since a 16-year winless streak against them. Morsy is determined to end that run, saying the team will need a massive effort and are desperate to secure the victory.
