The Verdict

Brereton Diaz will be disappointed to miss an opportunity to represent his country as he would have unquestionably fancied his chances of producing positive displays against Poland and Slovakia.

Since earning his first cap for Chile last year, the forward has become a talisman at Blackburn and thus head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson will be keen for him to make a swift recovery from injury.

During the current campaign, Brereton Diaz has managed to find the back of the net on 10 occasions in all competitions while he has also chipped in with one assist.

By maintaining his consistency between now and the end of the campaign, the former Nottingham Forest man could help Blackburn secure a top-six finish in the Championship.
