Arsenal striker Afobe back to rescue Bolton

Arsenal striker Benik Afobe is back for Bolton Wanderers.

The Arsenal youngster made his first league start against Leeds on Tuesday, four days after going to hospital with a mystery groin injury.

"It wasn't a major thing," said 19-year-old Afobe. "I had a problem with my groin and we thought it was best to get to hospital to make sure it wasn't anything serious.

"Unfortunately, I ended up missing the game against Crystal Palace (last Saturday) but obviously my health was more important.

"It feels fine now, so hopefully it won't happen again."
