Bolton boss Coyle denies Jaaskelainen bust-up

After their FA Cup victory over Sheffield United, Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle dismissed reports of an alleged training ground bust-up between goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and Phil Hughes.

Hughes had been brought in from Burnley as goalkeeping coach to work alongside Jaaskelainen's long-time mentor Fred Barber.

"I've been to the training ground every day and I've not seen anything," said the Wanderers boss.

"I can assure you the lads have worked their socks off. Football being football there are always going to be things thrown up, but if it happened I was not aware of it.

"They (Hughes and Barber) work together with the five goalkeepers we have at the club - it is not rocket science, it is very plain and simple."
