Bolton Wanderers manager Gary Megson has allayed fears that a hamstring injury had brought Ricardo Gardner's season to a premature end.

The Jamaica international had to be substituted in the opening stages of the disappointing 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth but it now seems as though he could feature against Aston Villa this weekend.

Megson told the club's official website: "We'll see for this Saturday but it might come a little too quickly.

"He has been terrific, he really has been top drawer. He's been moved into the middle of the park and has done really well.

"He has had his best goalscoring season and his qualities on the ball and his pace have been a big plus for us.

"We'll be disappointed if he isn't available for Saturday.

"Mark Davies is getting closer, as is Danny Shittu, who should be okay."
