Coyle wary of Wilshere threat

Owen Coyle believes Jack Wilshere could return to haunt Bolton on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium.[LNB] The 18-year-old midfielder had a successful loan spell with Coyle's side in the second half of last season.[LNB]Such was the improvement in Wilshere's game he has featured in Arsenal's first three Premier League matches.[LNB]Not only that he was called into the England senior squad for the friendly against Hungary.[LNB]Wilshere was back playing for the Under-21 side in midweek following his arrest and subsequent bail in the wake of a late-night fracas in London.[LNB]Bolton boss Coyle said: "Jack is a very talented player. He is such a gifted lad and has matured no end.[LNB]"He came to us as a boy and went back to Arsenal as a man. He showed that by playing in the Arsenal first team and by turning out for England at full international level. There is no doubt he is going to have a glittering career.[LNB]"He knows the way we work and he has a lot of friends here. But during the match we will try to nullify the threat he poses."[LNB]Coyle will monitor the fitness of Ivan Klasnic ahead of the trip to London.[LNB]Klasnic, who sealed a permanent move from Nantes in the summer, missed the draw with Birmingham because of a thigh injury.[LNB]Coyle said: "What we have to recognise is that Ivan missed a lot of pre-season because of a dispute with his club.[LNB]"So we do not want to rush him back until we make sure he is right. But if he is able to train today and tomorrow he will put himself in contention."[LNB]With goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen suspended, Adam Bogdan will make his first start in the Barclays Premier League.[LNB]Coyle hopes the 22-year-old Hungarian will rise to the challenge.[LNB]He said: "Adam ticks all the boxes. He takes crosses, he is a terrific shot-stopper, he is brave.[LNB]"But the proof is in the pudding. He is going to have to deal with some top players at Arsenal and it is a real baptism for him. But it is one he should be looking forward to."[LNB]
