Stuart Holden "can't wait" for comeback

Bolton Wanderers midfielder Stuart Holden has revealed that he "can't wait" to make his return from a knee ligament injury.

Manager Owen Coyle yesterday confirmed that the USA international would start in the Carling Cup against Aston Villa this season after six months on the sidelines.

"Off for pre-match meal, haven't been able to say that for a while! Thank you for all your continued support, I can't wait for tonight," the 26-year-old said on Twitter.

Holden began his career on the books of Sunderland before joining Houston Dynamo.
