News: Reid has been included in the Blackburn squad for Saturday's match against Chelsea and Sam Allardyce has expressed his displeasure with Giovanni Trapattoni for his recent comments about the midfield player's injury record.
Analysis: Allardyce described the ireland manager's views as ¿disgraceful drivel and nonsense,¿ and has called for him to apologise to Reid.

Analysis: Giovanni Trapattoni, the Ireland manager, has cast doubt over whether Reid will fully recover from a problem which has affected him for more than a year. "We hope he comes back, but my opinion is that it's very, very difficult."
|

|
News: Reid is again close to returning to full fitness and, now in the final year of his contract at Ewood Park, the Irishman has admitted that he is facing one of the most pivotal moments of his time in football.
Analysis: "It's definitely one of the biggest seasons of my career," Reid said. "I've got a lot to prove. The club have stuck by me and the fans have been brilliant, so hopefully I can repay them."
|
News: Returned to action against Gillingham in the Carling Cup but was substituted after sustaining yet another injury.
