Blackburn Rovers have been forced to cancel a visit from the Indian national team, sparking fresh fears that manager Steve Kean has come to the end of his managerial stint at Ewood Park.

The Lancashire club had originally invited the South Asia side to Rovers' training ground in order to use their facilities and meet Blackburn's players and staff.

Despite these plans, the India Football Federation general secretary Kushal Das has confirmed that the trip will not go ahead.

"Blackburn have told us that this is not the right time to visit the club," said Das. "They are going through some management problems at the moment."

The Scottish coach has struggled this season, with a selection of fans openly airing their frustrations with the 44-year-old.

The Premier League side's latest defeat came at the Emirates, with Arsenal securing a 7-1 thrashing of the under-pressure side.
