Neil Lennon doubts March return for Mark Davies

Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon has admitted that midfielder Mark Davies is unlikely to be back in action this month.

The 27-year-old was expected to make his first-team return during March following a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.

However, Lennon concedes that he is unsure when Davies will be available again for the Trotters.

"There's nothing pencilled in yet," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "He's out on the grass now doing some running. It will depend how quickly he can get up to speed with that.

"We'd be delighted if [he was back before the end of the month] but whether we see him in March or not... I would doubt it very much."

Bolton continue their Championship campaign tonight when they face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
