Vaesen on comeback trail

Last updated : 26 September 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

Vaesen has been sidelined since the 2-0 local derby victory at Villa Park in March when he damaged cruciate ligaments in his knee.

However, after more than six months rehabilitation, the Blues keeper will return to training next week and hopes to be pressing for first team inclusion by the end of October.
