Jansen back in frame
18/07/2005 - 12:03:56Matt Jansen has impressed Blackburn manager Mark Hughes after returning to the club following a lengthy break from the game.
The 27-year-old striker was given several months off by Hughes at the end of last season in an attempt to help him recover completely from the effects of a serious head injury suffered in a scooter accident two years ago.
Jansen has now returned to pre-season training and Hughes told the club’s official website: ““He’s missed a lot of football, a lot of training, but he has obviously kept himself fit in his time away from the club.
“He hasn’t struggled fitness wise, training with the group is different from training on your own, so a little bit of his game is not quite there yet, but I’m pleased for him.”
Jansen made his first senior appearance for Blackburn since January in Sunday’s friendly against Morecambe that finished 2-2.
