Poyet ready for return

The Uruguayan midfielder suffered no reaction to the knee problem he picked up in pre-season and has now targetted the Premiership clash with Bolton on October 19th for a first team comeback .

Speaking after the 0-0 draw, Poyet said: "I had the the chance to play 90 minutes tonight, fantastic, we have another reserve game against West Ham next Tuesday and then I hope to play a little against DC United, so that is perfect for me.

"I have plenty of work in the next two weeks. I'll keep going, try to get fit in training and hopefully I'll be ready for Bolton.

"There are a lot of players hoping to come back against Bolton, it will be a big day."

"The first thing for me is to show the manager that I am fit and ready to play but we all know it will be difficult to get back into the team because we are doing well."
