Bolton defender Gary Cahill will
miss several months of action, effectively ending his hopes of a
place in England's World Cup squad, after suffering a blood clot
in his arm.
The 24-year-old had felt ill last week and was taken to
hospital on Saturday, missing the goalless draw with Fulham, the
club said on their website on Monday.
"He came in on Saturday and the swelling was quite serious
and the medical staff decided to take him to hospital right
away," said manager Owen Coyle.
"It turns out he had a blood clot in his arm so he is going
to be out for a number of months...it might be for the rest of
the season; we will hear from the specialist later.
"I believe he would have made the World Cup for the summer
but we have to make sure first of all he recovers from this
blood clot. Gary will come back and continue to be a top, top
footballer."
