Blackburn Rovers<\/a> boss Steve Kean<\/a> remains hopeful that defender Ryan Nelsen<\/a> will recover from surgery on his knee in time for the start of the new campaign.
<\/span><\/p>\n


The 33-year-old New Zealand international missed the end of last season to undergo the serious procedure.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately we lost Ryan towards the end of last season, he had quite a major operation on his knee,” Kean said to Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“He’s taking part in some of the sessions but talking to our medical team, they’re confident he’ll be fit for the start of the season which is tremendous.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a senior group that’s very important to us and I’m confident he’ll be fit for the start of the season.”<\/p>\n

Blackburn survived relegation last season but boss Kean maintains that the wealth of experience Nelsen has could fill the void left by Phil Jones, who has left for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Scot insists that whilst Manchester City are splashing out millions of pounds on rejuvenating their squad, Blackburn will work on the youth players and continue cherish the seniors.<\/p>\n

“Different teams have got different models,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Manchester City want to spend, they want to achieve and go very quickly. We’re going to do it slightly differently.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got the senior players like Michel Salgado, Paul Robinson, Ryan Nelsen – we’ve got a senior group and then we’re going to continue to improve the young players.<\/p>\n

“It’s a case of each to their own.”<\/p>\n
