South Africa will miss McCarthy

McCarthy is getting set to face Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Sunday.His omission from the South African party - he scored 24 goals in all competitions for Rovers last season - has surprised many including national team captain Mokoena.That view is shared by Panathinaikos defender Nasief Morris, who added: "We need players like Benni."While McCarthy and co were on the end of a 4-1 defeat by Coca-Cola Championship side Coventry in the FA Cup last weekend, the former Porto striker ended a barren spell by getting the winner against Sunderland in their last league outing.He is set to team up in attack again with Roque Santa Cruz, who was rested last weekend with Blackburn chasing a third successive league victory.
