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.

heard about this last night, it was headline news on Ceefax you know.

Had a swelling on his arm, not something one would wish for and I hope and expect him to make a full recovery from this setback.

We've had football players in the states that had their careers ended by blood clots. Good player hope he comes back soon.
