Bolton Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher has confirmed Ruben Rodrigues could be sidelined for up to six weeks with a knee injury. Rodrigues suffered the problem during Bolton’s pre-season fixture against Sheffield Wednesday after taking a knock to his knee. The midfielder was able to continue playing despite feeling uncomfortable, but subsequent scans revealed a low-grade ligament strain. “Ruben isn’t a long-term one at all but he is injured,” Schumacher said. “He got a bang on his knee at Sheffield Wednesday and he was uncomfortable, but he did manage to carry on. “We have had him scanned, he has a low-grade strain in one of his ligaments in his knee, so the prognosis is he’ll probably be out between four and six weeks.” “It’s obviously a huge blow, because he’s been such a good player for us in the pre-season.”
