Nelsen ready for All Whites
Blackburn Rovers, 13:31, October 8, 2009 ,
Blackburn captain Ryan Nelsen has shaken off a back problem after missing the 6-2 Arsenal defeat.
The centre-half is now in line to play for New Zealand against Bahrain in the first leg of the Asia/Oceania World Cup qualifier in Manama on Saturday.
The All Whites have been training in Dubai ahead of the game and Nelsen reported as a big doubt.
However, his recovery will boost both club and country after an injury-hampered start to the season.
