AUSTRALIAN midfielder Vince Grella returns to Blackburn Rovers' squad for tomorrow's Premier League visit of Spurs.

Rovers' summer signing has missed most of the season through a series of injuries but comes back into contention for the first time since injuring his groin at Hull City early last month.

Manager Sam Allardyce will wait until after training this afternoon before deciding whether to put him straight back in the starting line-up though.

Striker Roque Santa Cruz will miss the game though as he continues to struggle with a knee injury while David Dunn could miss out due to his ongoing Achilles problems.
