BLAIR Sturrock will return from an ankle injury when Southend United reserves head to Concord Rangers tonight.
The 29-year-old striker has not figured since picking up the injury against Wycombe Wanderers last May.
But he will start against the Ryman Premier Division side at the Aspect Arena tonight.
Blues will field a young starting line-up but Peter Gilbert and Jemal Johnson will both figure along with Ryan Leonard and Harry Crawford.
