"Craig hasn't had a setback - that's not a word we would use in his situation," said Robson today.
"On Friday he looked so well you would have thought he had not been away, although we know he's been away for six weeks.
"Then he had Saturday off and trained on Sunday and he had a slight stiffness and soreness - a reaction to it - so we didn't even consider him for the Aston Villa game.
"But I would expect him to have every chance for Monday, as does Gary Speed."
