{{Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has made Cameroon-born defender Yann Songo’o his 11th summer signing.}}<\/p>\n
Songo’o mutually terminated his contract with Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City in June and had been on trial with Rovers.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Championship club, subject to international clearance.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Blackburn are awaiting news of the shoulder injury sustained by Ruben Rochina in the 1-1 draw at Derby.<\/p>\n
The Spanish forward was hurt in the first half of Blackburn’s opening-day fixture at Pride Park on Sunday and was carried off on a stretcher with a suspected dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n
“He was picking up some great positions and playing ever so well. It disrupted us. We wish him all the best and let’s hope it’s not too serious.”<\/p>\n
Leon Best’s 89th-minute goal, his first for Blackburn, earned Bowyer’s side a deserved point against the Rams.<\/p>\n
