Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 04:19

Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce believes Vince Grella’s hamstring injury is not too bad.

The Australian international has missed the Rovers’ last two pre-season friendlies but he is expected to return to action very soon.

There was also good news coming from Grella’s compatriot Brett Emerton who is undergoing rehabilitation following a knee reconstruction.

"We had a couple of little injuries with a couple of players who didn´t take part," Allardyce told www.rovers.co.uk.

“They are only slight knocks, we are not envisaging that they´ll be any longer than a day or two.

"We are also hearing good progress on Brett Emerton back at home and Steven Reid is coming along too."
