Ian Poveda hopes to return for final weeks of Blackburn loan
After a slow start to the season, Ian Poveda was finding his feet on his loan to Blackburn Rovers before a serious injury ruled him out for almost the entire season. However, it now emerges that the Leeds youngster has returned to fitness and will be given a chance to return to Blackburn to prove himself and possibly play a role in their late push for a Championship playoff place.
Tony Mowbray's side were well in the hunt for the top-six at the halfway stage and even looked like they might be able to claim an automatic promotion place. However, injury to Leeds-linked Ben Brereton Diaz has seen goals dry up and Rovers drop out of the playoff spots.
