SEASON OVER FOR REID

SEASON OVER FOR REID

Reid - another knee injury.

Blackburn's injury-plagued midfielder Steven Reid will miss the rest of the season after suffering another knee problem.

Rovers boss Paul Ince has revealed the Republic of Ireland international will need surgery on his knee and is expected to be out for six or seven months.

Reid, 27, missed the 2006-7 season with knee and back injuries, and with David Dunn also out for the long term, Ince's central midfield options are limited for Saturday's trip to Bolton in the Barclays Premier League.

Ince said: "It's a massive blow, because Reidy is an integral part of my side; he's got great experience and he's great around the camp.

"I'm gutted for him, because he's a great lad and great pro who gives his all for the club. He's disappointed, and we are all disappointed.

"It's sad and it seems to be one thing after another for him."
