Bolton Wanderers midfielder
Sean Davis is out for the season after knee surgery.
Davis, who was named on the bench for last weekend's draw with
Stoke, has been struggling with a knee complaint and
Bolton feared he may have to go
under the knife.
The Trotters' worst fears have now been confirmed and the former
Portsmouth midfielder has been
forced to have an operation on his cruciate ligament.
It means Davis faces several months on the sidelines and it
seems almost certain the 30-year-old will miss the remainder of the
campaign.
The news is a massive blow for Bolton boss Gary Megson as he looks to end the
club's poor run of form in the Premier
League.
