Steven Reid aims to play "every game" until the end of the season after he continued his path to fitness with 90 minutes against Arsenal.Republic of Ireland international Reid, 26, is attempting to regain match fitness after a lengthy lay-off due to a long-term knee injury but came through the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates on Monday unscathed and is now eyeing a run in Blackburn's first-team.

"I'm delighted to get another 90 under my belt and the coaches and the medics are always telling me this is what I've been working hard for," Reid told the club's official website.

"It feels good during training in the week and it's at it's best during a matchday.

"Originally we said it might take 10-15 games until I get back into the swing of it but I'm feeling fitter and stronger with every game and hopefully I can play every game from now until then."
