Injured - Blues boss Phil Brown does not expect Jacob Mellis (left) to play again this season
SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown does not expect Jacob Mellis to play again this season.
The 30-year-old midfielder has made three substitute appearances since signing from Gillingham on transfer deadline day.
But Brown feels Mellis, who has a knee problem, will not be fit enough to feature in Blues' remaining five matches.
"Jacob is still injured," said Brown.
"He’s not available to me and I don’t think he will be available to me between now and the end of the season.
"I’ve not seen any of him other than him lying on a treatment table unfortunately."
