Nelsen grateful to Ince

Powerful centre-back Nelsen told BBC Radio Lancashire: "I put the new manager in a difficult position in all honesty and I really appreciate that he's allowed me to go.

"With New Zealand we don't get to go to very many major tournaments and the Olympics is obviously a major one and I really wanted to play.

"Thankfully he's met me half-way and let me go for the first two games."
