Darren Pratley: Bolton Wonderers captain set to miss eight to 10 weeks after leg break

Pratley has made 131 appearances for Bolton, scoring 15 goals, since signing in 2011

Bolton captain Darren Pratley is set to miss eight to 10 weeks after fracturing a bone in his lower leg on Saturday.

The midfielder, 31, sustained the injury in a challenge on Sheffield United's Leon Clarke.

Bolton manager Phil Parkinson told the club website: "It's a blow for both him and us, but it's also a chance for someone else to step up."

Bolton went on to win their first League One game 1-0, with Jay Spearing scoring the only goal.
