Nelson Returns For Reading Clash

Last updated : 22 October 2007 By Sam
The Rovers skipper, who has been on the sidelined with a hamstring injury picked up during the Uefa Cup tie against Larissa, has trained all week and is expected to return to the heart of the Rovers defence for the match against The Royals at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon.

Elsewhere, striker Roque Santa Cruz has also returned to full training following a two week spell on the sidelines with a knee injury but he is unlikely to be risked this weekend from the start against The Royals and could have to make do with a place on the bench.
