Martijn Reuser, back in training earlier in the week as previously reported, is hoping to play 45 minutes of tonight's reserve game at home to Spurs. The Dutchman has been out with a hip/back injury.

Reuser says he hopes rather than expects to be back in the first team squad for the Villa game on Monday: "I have been training for the past two days and it is still a little uncomfortable. I'm hoping I can play at least 45 minutes against Tottenham and see how it goes. If I play well and there is no reaction then we will take it from there. I don't have high expectations but it would be good to be involved against Villa."
