"Li Tie has been back in full training now for a week, so we'll probably give him another week or two's training here before we include him in a reserve game." Said David Moyes "We'll let him get on the end of a few tackles here, which you can't manufacture before we include him in a reserve game, but he's not too far away, that's for sure."
Li would provide some very useful cover and competition for Lee Carsley in his defensive role.
