Holden set for Bolton return

American midfielder Stuart Holden is set to dress for Bolton in Sunday's Premier League season finale after recovering from a broken right leg.

The 22-year-old, who left Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo to sign with Bolton last winter, was injured playing for the United States in a 2-1 loss to the Netherlands on March 3.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle said Friday that Holden has trained for two weeks and because the midfielder is likely to be included in the 30-man U.S. World Cup roster, he will be involved in Sunday's game against Birmingham.

Coyle said he will make up his mind on Sunday whether Holden starts or is on the bench.
