Schumacher confirms Bolton boost after injury worry

Akin Famewo is available for Bolton Wanderers’ clash with Lincoln City despite suffering an injury scare against Queens Park Rangers last weekend.

The defender was replaced at half-time during the 1-1 draw at Loftus Road after taking a knock to his knee, but he has since returned to training and is fit to face the Imps.

“It is encouraging because it’s not good when one of your players has to go off at half time in a previous game, but as I say he’s trained today and he said he feels fine,” Schumacher told the Bolton News.

“(Famewo) is good and he’s ready to go, so that is a real positive for us. Obviously, we are just missing Ruben and Luca at the moment.”

Luca Stephenson and Ruben Rodrigues remain sidelined with thigh and knee problems respectively.
