Bolton defender Gary Cahill could miss the rest of the season because of a blood clot in his arm.
The 24-year-old, who had been tipped to make England’s World Cup squad, was taken ill on Friday and sat out Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Fulham.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle revealed: “Gary suffered a pain in his arm and it became severely swollen.
“It turns out he had a blood clot in his arm, so he is going to be out for a number of months.”
Cahill is due to be released from hospital on Monday after being kept in since Saturday.
“It is a severe blow for the boy but our main concern is his welfare. We have to make sure Gary is fit and well,” said Coyle.
“He will miss the next few months, it might be for the rest of the season, we will hear from the specialist later.“The clot needed to be resolved and in doing that you need the medication. It follows you can’t play.” (BBC Sport)
You have to feel for the determined centre back. Gary Cahill has done terrificly well to overcome any prejudice that comes from playing for a supposedly ‘unattractive’ Premier League side to get international recognition. The former Aston Villa man was also doing a damn good job at the Reebok and this blow will not only ruin any hopes of a World Cup place but could also seriously hamper Owen Coyle’s hopes of pulling Bolton Wanderers away from the drop zone.
