O'Neill 'hopeful' on Carter for Millwall game
· Yahoo Sports
Blackburn Rovers defender Hayden Carter has not yet been ruled out of their game against Middlesbrough on Saturday (12:30 GMT), boss Michael O'Neill has said.
The 26-year-old was substituted just before half-time in their 2-1 victory over Millwall with another hamstring issue.

Carter has endured an injury-hit season, playing only one game before his comeback in February after struggling with hamstring and calf problems.
"We are going to give Hayden every chance to play," O'Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"It's hard to say really on that one but we will try and hopefully see how things go over the next 24 hours."
However, midfielder Todd Cantwell's return from a foot injury that kept him out for five league matches appears to be going smoothly.
The Rovers skipper made his comeback from the bench against Oxford on 11 March before joining the starting XI for last Saturday's game against the Lions.
"You need all your big players in these types of situation," O'Neill added.
"It was a real positive that he put himself out there. To get to where he got to, 60 minutes in the Millwall game, was a big plus given that he trained very little having been out for the best part of four or five weeks."
