Fit-again Bolton Wanderers wing-back Matt Taylor has revealed he is itching to get back into first-team action.

The former Portsmouth defender has missed the last month after breaking a toe against Newcastle United in August, but is in line to make his comeback at West Ham on Saturday.

Taylor is likely to return to a side short on confidence following a six-game winless run in all competitions.

"I'm not very good at watching, especially when I would love to be out there playing, but that's the nature of the beast and in football you carry the risk of being injured," he told the club's official website.

"Five weeks out of action has been acceptable and obviously I've been itching to get back, but that's the way it is unfortunately."

Meanwhile, Taylor has admitted he may struggle to dislodge Ricardo Gardner from his regular left-back berth following the Jamaica international's recent impressive form.

"That's what football is all about. I want to play and I'm sure that's the case for everybody who's in the team," he added.

"It's not up to me to pick the team, it's up to the manager so whatever he chooses to do is his prerogative."
