"I felt very tired after the Birmingham game," he admitted. "But I'm feeling a lot better now.
"The aim is to get a good week's training in so I'm ready for the game with City.
"I'd done very little training in the three weeks beforehand. It took me two or three days to recover from that game but I have spent the past week doing strengthening work.
"I'm looking forward to the weekend. There's no mental hurdle to cross. "I've had a problem in my groin that has taken a while to get over but I'm just relieved the second injection seems to have done the trick."
