Australia NewsGrella And Emmo On Way Back |
ROVERS boss Sam Allardyce has revealed Socceroos pair Vince Grella and Brett Emerton are on the comeback trail ahead of Blackburn's new season.
Emerton has been out of action since January due to a knee ligament problem, while injury-cursed Grella hurt his hamstring in a pre-season friendly against AS Roma.
Grella's latest injury concern would have worried Rovers fans as he hadn't been able to take part in Blackburn's most recent two pre-season matches in Croatia against Nacional and Hajduk Split.
But Allardyce, speaking about Grella as well as Blackburn defender Stephen Warnock, revealed the injury was only minor, saying: "We had a couple of little injuries with a couple of players who didn´t take part.
"Vince has a hamstring so we didn´t risk those. They are only slight knocks, we are not envisaging that they´ll be any longer than a day or two."
Allardyce also revealed Emerton's long comeback from a serious knee injury was coming along well, saying, "We are also hearing good progress on Brett Emerton back at home."
Emerton admitted earlier in the European summer he was hoping to be fit for the start of the Premier League season.
