Rovers return for Henchoz
08 Sep 2006 - 15:13:15
Blackburn Rovers manager Mark Hughes has decided to bring Stephane Henchoz back to the club after it was confirmed that Ryan Nelsen needs surgery on his troublesome hamstring injury.
The 32-year-old Switzerland international has been without a club since being released by Wigan Athletic at the end of last season.
He made 71 League appearances for Rovers during his first spell at Ewood Park following his £3million move from SV Hamburg in June 1997.
Henchoz was snapped up by Liverpool seven years ago in a £3.5million deal and made 135 Premiership appearances for the Reds before moving on to Celtic in January 2005 and then Wigan last summer.
However, Henchoz's second debut for Rovers will not come in this weekend's match against Sheffield United as he is still building up his fitness levels.
