BEN Reeves and Tamika Mkandawire have both returned to Southend United on loan and will figure for Blues against Torquay United at Roots Hall this afternoon.

Reeves has rejoined until the end of the season from Southampton while Mkandawire has signed for a month from Millwall.

Reeves, 21, impressed during his initial month long loan from the Saints, scoring twice in eight games.

His loan expired a fortnight ago but he stayed training with Southend during that period and will now be able to return to action today.

Mkandawire, 29, made 12 appearances during his original two month spell from Millwall which ended in January and helped Blues find their best form of the season.

Both of the midfielders are expected to go straight back in to the starting line-up to take on the Gulls.
