Jay McEveley will be back at Portman Road on Monday as he continues his recovery from the medial ligament injury he sustained at Cardiff in November. The Blackburn defender's return comes as a surprise as it had been understood his loan had been ended after his injury and subsequent operation.

Boss Joe Royle told the club site: "Jay will be back with us from Monday and we'll be pleased to see him again.

"He will working with our physio staff in his rehab but he is still a long way from playing yet."
