Bolton Wanderers injury update ahead of game against Exeter City Ian Evatt feels the international break has been good for the Wanderers side and hopes they can pick up where they left off.
The Whites have really hit their stride before the break, but Evatt didn’t mind the weekend off after a physically and mentally demanding period.
Bolton boss was pleased with what he saw on the training ground in recent days ahead of Saturday’s visit to Exeter.
“I was feeling really good before the break, so people will probably say it was probably a bad time,” he said.
“Actually, I think it’s the opposite.
I think it’s great to have a fresh start and a chance to rest and recover.
“When you’re asking players to play under pressure and with the focus and intensity that it requires, especially in away games in the past, it’s important to reset.
” “This week, they.

is fit again and ready for Saturday’s game.
” Kyle Dempsey has returned to training after taking time off due to a back problem.
Will Forrester is also continuing to train with the team after missing the last few games with his knee injury.
Evatt said both players are showing positive signs heading into Saturday’s game, but he wants to be especially wary of Dempsey.
“Kyle’s obviously had quite a long break, so I don’t know if he’s ready to start playing now,” the manager explained.
“He says he is, and shows he’s in training.
But physically he needs to be careful.
“Will was only missing for a week or two.
So they’ll be fine
They’re both very good players and they’re both back training and a breath of fresh air.
” “It’s great to have options,” Evatt said.
“But if everyone is healthy, it’s hard to pick 11 guys and even harder to pick 18 guys.
“Those are the questions we’re asking.
I think the players want to play.
“This is the nature of football and we try to choose the right team against the right opponent.
We’re going to need all of them because we’re going to have a busy time.
