Bolton manager admits confidence concerns


Bolton manager Owen Coyle admitted that his players will find it difficult to focus on their game during the Premier League match against Blackburn this weekend, as their thoughts will be focused on that of Fabrice Muamba, who collapsed in the FA Cup game against Tottenham last week.

Blackburn will take on Bolton in a relegation crunch match this weekend, and Coyle is worried that his players will not be able to focus due to the Muamba situation.


Coyle said: "You don't move on. We have a game to play and we have to go and play it. Will it be difficult? Absolutely. Our thoughts are still with Fabrice Muamba.'


"I wouldn't ask anybody to play who felt they couldn't and so far no-one has told me that they don't want to be involved. There comes a point that we have to play our games and move forward."
