Basham 'feeling benefits' of trip

The Trotters return to England on Saturday as they prepare to open their friendly schedule against Borussia Monchengladbach a week later. And having had two training sessions a day for five of the last six days, Basham is looking forward to getting involved in some match action again. He told the Bolton News: "We have done so much running. The boys are looking forward to getting back to the matches and the routine of playing games. "It's been hard but it's progressed from when we first came back last week where it was all about getting our bodies back into shape. "I'm now feeling the benefits and I'm enjoying it over here, and I think that's the case with everybody."
