JUSSI Jaaskelainan was pressed into an unexpected return to the Wanderers squad at Stamford Bridge on Super Sunday.
The Finland keeper, whose season appeared to be over when he suffered a back injury two months ago, was named as one of two substitute keepers as the Whites wrapped up their season against title-chasing Chelsea.
Ian Walker, who has been regular back-up for Ali Al-Habsi in Jaaskelainen's absence, complained of a stomach upset in the build-up to the game, so Gary Megson decided to err on the side of caution.
