Richard Keogh has told the Blackpool FC media team that he is looking to step up is recovery during the international break.
The defender suffered a calf injury in early February but hopes to resume full training ahead of the Seasiders’ home fixture against Nottingham Forest next week.
“The break is obviously going to benefit me,” Keogh said.
“It will give me time to top up my rehab a little bit more and then get back training with the team. By the time the next league game comes around, I should be available.”
The 35-year-old was withdrawn early during Blackpool’s 1-1 draw with Coventry City last month and has missed all seven matches since.
Keogh had become an important part of the Seasiders’ defence since he joined as a free agent last summer, making 23 appearances in the Championship.
The centre-back could return for a difficult run in for Neil Critchley’s side as they are set to face Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers and West Brom over the next few weeks.
