    Bolton's Gary Cahill out with blood clot


    Cahill was a £5m signing in the January 2008 transfer window

    [BBC]

    Bolton defender Gary Cahill could miss the rest of the season because of a blood clot in his arm.

    The 24-year-old, who had been tipped to make England's World Cup squad, was taken ill on Friday and sat out Saturday's 0-0 draw against Fulham.

    Bolton manager Owen Coyle revealed: "Gary suffered a pain in his arm and it became severely swollen.

    "It turns out he had a blood clot in his arm, so he is going to be out for a number of months."

    Cahill is due to be released from hospital on Monday after being kept in since Saturday.

    "It is a severe blow for the boy but our main concern is his welfare. We have to make sure Gary is fit and well," said Coyle.

    "He will miss the next few months, it might be for the rest of the season, we will hear from the specialist later.

    "The clot needed to be resolved and in doing that you need the medication. It follows you can't play.

    "I don't think it is a sport-related injury, I think it is just one of those things that can happen to anyone at any given time, " said the Bolton boss.

    The former England Under-21 player has been in excellent form for Wanderers this season, earning a call into the full England squad and had been linked with a move away from the Reebok Stadium during the January transfer window.

    Coyle had led calls for England boss Fabio Capello to take the former Aston Villa player to this summer's World Cup in South Africa.

    However, his chances of making the squad have now been severely dented - even if he does manage a return for his club before the end of the Premier League season.

    Coyle, at least, seemed in little doubt that his chances were scuppered: "He had a chance of going to the World Cup - but that chance will come again."

    The former Burnley boss, though, promised that Cahill will receive first-class treatment in his recovery bid: "Gary will get the best care available to him. As much as we love football, we will focus on making sure Gary recovers well."

    Cahill was part of England's squad for the World Cup qualifying victory over Kazakhstan in June, 2009 but is yet to win a senior cap.

    Very important player for them.
    Will they survive without him?

      Hope they don't survive, just cos i don't agree with what their new manager has done, shafting Burnley in the process.

      Guessing Cahill will get the Morpherin treatment or similar, thinning the blood but leaving him very susceptible to bruising and cuts....he'll likely be fine for the new season.

        You mean moving jobs? I'm not sure there is anything wrong with that. He has left that club in a far, far better position than he found it in.

            While there's nothing wrong with changing jobs, it would be funny if Burnley stayed up at their expense
            The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

              Poor *******.

              That's very unfortunate for Cahill. I like him, think he's a quality defender.

              Hope he makes a full recovery.

                  If this wasn't related in some way to trauma makes for a controversial medical decision. Frequently there is an anatomic variant responsible for the clot and implies a surgical option would reduce his risk of recurrent clot in the future. This is compounded by the fact that the short term management issues are no more easily resolved. I hope he does well.
                  When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him

                      Sorry, been on the sauce today To (hopefully) clarify:

                      It is not uncommmon for trauma ie. a knock you take when playing footy to precipitate a clot. . . more properly referred to in Yank medical parlance as a DVT(Deep Vein Thrombosis) which differentiates it from an arterial clot. The point I was trying (quite poorly) to make is that a spontaneous clot usually implies some anatomic issue (such as bone impingement compromising venous blood flow) that results in the clot forming. When it is related to anatomy, the management is controversial. Can imagine that this involving a professional footballer does not simplify the decision making process. If I am still not making sense, then I will try again when my blood alcohol level is a wee bit lower. Cheers
