Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has revealed midfielder Sean Davis is spending eight hours a day on a special device designed to aid his recovery from articular cartilage damage.

The midfielder, who was sent off in his last appearance against Liverpool in August, is using a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine to keep the joint moving continuously.

“It’s horrible for him,” Megson admitted.

“It is still going to be some time before he makes a full recovery.”
