Bolton Wanderers fought their way to a well-earned point against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday thanks to an intense defensive showing. The point wasn't with out it's battles as Steven Schumacher's team picked up another defensive injury.
Akin Famewo, who started his second-consecutive game in central defence for the club, was forced off at half-time after picking up a knock in one of the many hard-hitting tackles to occur in the match.
The knock, is hoped to be nothing serious, but Schumacher admitted the club will let Famewo rest before getting it assessed should the injury swell.
