Cardiff City say Craig Bellamy will be raring to go against Blackburn Rovers The forward, 33, was rested for Saturday's defeat to Peterborough after going the distance in Wales" World Cup qualifiers with Scotland and Croatia. "He played two really tough games and he ran well in both and both hamstrings were screaming," Mackay explained. We needed to protect him because of what might have happened today but absolutely he'll be involved on Monday. Blackburn Rovers are precariously placed two points above the Championship relegation zone but Mackay still believes his side face a tricky test against caretaker Gary Bowyer's side. "We're against a team with an interim manager that will be desperate to do well and against a squad that were the envy of the league in terms of the signings they made," he said. It's going to be a tough game. I find it funny how some teams play Friday-Tuesday and we play Saturday-Monday but that's the way it goes. On Saturday, substitute Grant McCann's two late penalties lifted Peterborough out of the bottom three and dented their opponents" title ambitions. Aron Gunnarsson had scrambled in the opener from close range midway through the first half. Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson said: "We've just beaten a team you'd like to think will get in the Premier League twice and deserved to win twice."
