Blackburn striker Matt Jansen insists he needs time to build up his physical condition and that it could take up to four months before he can play in the Premier League.

Blackburn boss Paul Ince is considering handing Jansen, who has been out for a long time with injury problems, a new contract.

“When you go back you suddenly realise how elite you have to be to be a top-class Premier League footballer,’ he told the Daily Mail.

“It takes time. I haven’t had a pre-season and I haven’t trained like this for more than two years.

“Aerobically it’s not a problem. But it’s the physical conditioning that takes time.

“When you’ve been out a long time there’s a deterioration of the muscle strength and it takes a lot of work to get that back. Probably three or four months.

“You get frustrated because you make basic, elementary mistakes. Because you’re fatigued. But I’m giving it my best shot.

“I’m seeing where it takes me. My ultimate goal is to play for them again.

“But the key is not to put myself under too much pressure. I really am just taking it one day at a time.”
