Bolton manager Owen Coyle insists the club will not rush injured midfielders Lee Chung-yong and Stuart Holden in their recoveries.
South Korea ace Lee has been out of action since July with a broken leg whilst USA star Holden briefly returned from a knee injury in September but had complications and was forced back into the medical room.
Coyle has revealed that both players are back training but has made it clear that they will be given as much time as possible before he calls on them.
"With the nature of Chung-Yong's injury, he just has to build up his confidence and when he does that, which might take a couple of weeks, he will then get involved with the group.
"We wish we had him and Stuart both back because they are top players, but it's important that we bring them back at the right time and that's what we will do.""Stuart Holden's the one who will be out the longest of them all, but Chung-Yong Lee has done some light training on the grass," he said.
