• Manager watched 5-2 victory over Posh from stands• No further cases of swine flu reported at clubBlackburn's assistant manager Neil McDonald has confirmed that Sam Allardyce kept away from his players during their 5-2 win over Peterborough United last night.Swine flu has spread through the Blackburn squad, with three players as well as two members of staff succumbing to the virus.
Feeling unwell himself, Allardyce decided to spend the whole of the Carling Cup tie in the stands at Ewood Park."He is feeling a little unwell so he sat upstairs," McDonald said.
"He trusts in his staff, which is excellent, and he was at the game.
He shot out just to make sure nobody gets what he might have."McDonald said there were no new cases to report.
"It's under control," he said.
"We will monitor it on a 24-hour basis.
Everyone seems OK."The Health Protection Agency has warned players that spitting could increase the risk of passing on infection during matches.McDonald said that the club is doing everything in its power to ensure the virus does not spread.
"I'm not a medic so I don't know how it is passed on, but you can spit, cough, sneeze - anything that comes out of your body is how it is passed on, I suppose," he said."I think there is always a problem in it spreading, but we are doing our best to try and contain everything by doing the right things and monitoring everyone, and we will continue to do that.
Hopefully it won't spread any more, fingers crossed."
