PL International Cup: Emmanuel Dennis debuts for Blackburn Rovers tonight

Posted : 06 February 2025

Nigerian forward Emmanuel Dennis is set to make his first appearance for Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night as they face Athletic Bilbao in a rescheduled Premier League International Cup fixture at Accrington Stanley’s Wham Stadium.  


Blackburn Rovers secured Dennis on loan from Nottingham Forest on transfer deadline day, finalizing the deal late Monday night to bolster their attacking options.  


Having struggled for game time this season, the Super Eagles striker moved to the Championship side in search of regular minutes. However, he is currently lacking match sharpness after an extended period without competitive action.  


Dennis was left out of Nottingham Forest’s squad for the Premier League and cup competitions under manager Nuno Espírito Santo, making him unavailable for selection throughout the first half of the campaign.  


The last time he played in an official match was on April 27, 2024, when he featured in the first half of Watford's 1-0 victory over Sunderland in the Championship. Since then, he has not represented either his club or country.  


Barring any late setbacks, Dennis is set to make his return to the pitch against Athletic Bilbao, having been named in the starting lineup for the encounter.  


He will be joined in the squad by fellow recent signings Yuri Ribeiro from Sporting Braga and Cauley Woodrow from Luton Town. The match provides Dennis with an important opportunity to regain fitness as he looks to break into Blackburn Rovers’ senior team in the coming weeks.
