Bolton boss Lee delighted with Dzemaili progress

Bolton Wanderers boss Sammy Lee is delighted that Blerim Dzemaili is on the road to full fitness following a shocking start to his Reebok Stadium career.

Dzemaili suffered a cruciate ligament injury playing for Swiss side Zurich in January shortly after signing a pre-contract agreement with Wanderers.

However, after intensive treatment including two operations in the United States, Trotters boss Lee is delighted with the player's progress.

Dzemaili told the club's official website: "He has had the second operation over in Denver and his rehabilitation is going very well.

"He is a very determined lad and has had some of our staff with him in Colorado and Switzerland. They are making sure everything is fine with him.

"We are going to let nature take its course because there's no rush. He is a terrific lad and a great prospect."
