Bolton Wanderers defender Florent Laville has taken huge strides in his bid to comeback from a serious cruciate knee ligament injury picked up last September in a game against Middlesbrough.

The former Lyon captain has recovered well from surgery and is now starting to step up his training programme in a bid to make a first team comeback before the end of the current season.

Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce confirmed that the Frenchman, nicknamed "The Rock" is making good progress and has started well in his rehabilitation to recover from the injury.

"He’s making excellent progress and back in the training programme, He’s started to do little bits of football within his rehab, which is getting him used to kicking a ball again.” Allardyce said
