Steven Schumacher left to sweat the fitness of one his Bolton Wanderers new boys

Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher confirmed that full-back Luca Stephenson is a worry for Saturday's clash with Queens Park Rangers. The former Liverpool player left the pitch with a knock last week, but could yet still play.

Steven Schumacher confirmed that Luca Stephenson is a doubt for Saturday's Championship game at Queens Park Rangers.

The full-back started against Preston North End last weekend and was one of Bolton Wanderers best performers in defence, before limping off late in the game.

The Wanderers boss admitted there was some concern for Stephenson, who had struggled to train this week. The team hope he can complete a full training tomorrow, alleviating the need for a fitness check. Should the former Liverpool man fail to do so, they will look to others to fill the vacant right-back spot for QPR.
