Chris Eagles return pleases Dougie Freedman

Bolton Wanderers manager Dougie Freedman has expressed his delight at having Chris Eagles available for selection again.

The winger is regarded by Freedman to be one of his key players at the Reebok Stadium, but the former Manchester United youngster has only recently returned to action because of an ankle injury.

"Chris is always buzzing and he's a great guy to have around the place. I said last year he is the guy that I want to work things round because he has that spark," the Bolton News quotes Freedman as saying.

Eagles joined the Trotters from Burnley in the summer of 2011.
