Shame
if he didnt physically limp off i would be sensing foul play...i dont trust Mr Hughes...hes a top quality manager & talent spotter, but i also wouldnt trust him as far as i could kick him.
if he misses the AWs match and plays for Blackburn within the week i will not be happy
ROVERS captain Ryan Nelsen could return to action sooner than anticipated.
The 29-year-old defender limped out of Thursday's UEFA Cup defeat to Larissa, but his injury isn't expected to keep him out for as long as first feared.
Ryan, who missed the first half of last season following an operation on a troublesome hamstring injury, has been in impressive form since his return to the team and his manager is hopeful that this latest set-back will not signify another long-term lay-off.
Mark Hughes said: "He's a little bit sore, but it is similar to when he had an episode concerning his hamstring at Bolton last year.
"I think he missed something like 10 or 15 days and he felt similar pain that he's having now.
"It isn't the actual hamstring as such - it is not a muscle injury. It is just a pain that he gets when the scar tissue releases. We think that is what is happening and if that is the case, then the prognosis is probably better than we originally thought."sanday2007-09-22 10:51:22
I heard a sound bite from Hughes on radio sport this morning and he sounded a bit more positive about the injury.

Nelsen wasn't in tonights lineup in the UEFA game for Blackburn. We might have to wait for November for his come back for the all whites.
