Star defender Ledley King is on target to return for the next Premiership fixture against Manchester United.

“Yes, I think I’m on target for that (Manchester United),” King told the club’s official website.

“With the internationals it’s two weeks before the United game so the break has worked out well for me.

“I haven’t missed that many games, just three in the first week, so that’s not too bad.

“I can’t wait to get back out there first in full training and then the games.”
