Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes hopes Ryan Nelsen is over his hamstring problems.
"Ryan will have to come to terms with it on occasions. He will have a little bit of discomfort. But he understands that now, when you have really significant injuries, there's always a price to pay.
"But it's not going to hamper him significantly. When he comes back, we all expect his form to be very good because he's fit and well now."
"He's such a genuine guy," said Hughes. "In his own mind, he wanted to make sure he was helping the side but in the end, the injury was compromising him too much."
