Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has backed Ivan Campo to play a major role in the club's battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
The 34-year-old Spanish midfielder reacted angrily to being subbed during last weekend's goalless draw at home to Manchester City, but Megson says that that is all forgotten already.
He said: "When you do what Ivan did and you play the week after, then you've really got to perform.
"Ivan will be involved because there is no problem between myself and Ivan, or Ivan and anyone else at this football club.
"He's a great lad, he's got a terrific personality, but he gets frustrated when he gets brought off the field or he's not selected, as do a lot of senior pros.
"He was upset that he had been brought off the field, but accepted that he reacted in the wrong way."
Campo has scored 14 goals in 190 appearances for the Trotters, since moving to England from Real Madrid in the summer of 2002.
