League: Lockyer set for Broncos return

Brisbane captain Darren Lockyer has been cleared to play in tonight's National Rugby League match against Parramatta at Suncorp Stadium.

Lockyer has run at training for the past two days and an intensive training session with the team yesterday convinced medical staff he had overcome a knee injury.

The champion five-eighth consulted with club physiotherapists this morning and reported no soreness.

Lockyer's return will be scrutinised by Queensland selectors, who are hopeful he can demonstrate he'll be ready for Origin two on June 11.

Lockyer's inclusion means prop David Taylor will be 18th man for tonight's match
