Tony Mowbray has issued the latest on Ellis Simms ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Blackburn Rovers.
The forward has been out since picking up a foot injury during last month’s win over Reading.
Speaking in today’s pre-match press conference, the Head Coach provided an update on Simms.
“He isn’t too far away from being fit to be honest,” Mowbray said.
“He’s been on the training pitch now, he hasn’t joined in with the team but I’m watching him and he’s going box to box, little side foots, bouncing the ball off boards, twisting, turning.
“He’s opening his legs up, striding out and kicking footballs which is telling me he’s getting closer and closer.
“In the next few games fingers crossed he’s on the bench and he won’t be that far away.”
