Scott Parker could be back in action by mid-March after recovering from his latest knee injury.

The midfielder, signed from Newcastle United last summer for £7m has been out of action since the New Year after sustaining an injury during the 2-1 win over Manchester United.

But Curbishley confirmed earlier today that he expects the former Charlton man to be back in the frame soon.

"He's in full training and we're trying to get him a game next week," said Curbishley. "He's not far off again.

"We're a little bit disappointed because if he had got himself right for last week he could have played in that game on Monday and been that much further forward.

"But he's in full training, and he's trained for the last eight days so he'll definitely be back before the end of the season."

Although the Tottenham game ws considered by Curbishley to be 'probably too early' Parker could be back in contention for the visit of Blackburn on 15th March, meaning he could still figure in the club's final nine games of the season.
