Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle knows he cannot ask too much of returning midfielder Stuart Holden.
The USA international returned to senior action after a six-month absence with a 90 minute shift in Tuesday night's Carling Cup win at Aston Villa but was today given the day off.
Coyle says it has been a great effort for the 26-year old to get back from a serious knee injury but will remain wary of his fitness, indicating that Saturday's meeting with Arsenal may be too much too soon.
"Stuart has come out of a tough game having been out for six months," said Coyle.
"We hope he is fit but we have to make sure we don't put him in a situation that is harmful."
