Dutch midfielder Martijn Reuser's comeback from a groin injury looks to have stalled after he limped out of training on Tuesday. Reuser returned to the senior squad for the first time since August on Saturday, but remained on the bench.

The former Ajax and Vitesse man suffered a recurrence of the groin injury which has kept him sidelined for most of the season so far, and which at one time appeared to require an operation.

Reuser misses tonight's reserve game at home to Chelsea and will hope that surgery will not be needed to rid himself of the problem.
