Paul Stalteri's medial ligament injury sustained in Carling Cup action last month "has come along well in the last week or so" according to the full back.
"It was a strange one in the sense that I don't recall what happened. I don't think I took a whack, but the ligaments in the knee were strained. I've had it before so I knew exactly what it was after it happened.
"At the beginning of the season I suffered with injury, got myself fit and then this happened. With all the games we have been playing I imagine there would have been a couple of opportunities to play so it has been very frustrating."
