Fitness programme designed to eradicate hamstring setbacks

Ricardo Gardner is optimistic he can stay injury-free for Bolton in the coming season and put his repeated hamstring problems in the past. The Jamaica international has suffered with persistent fitness complaints over the years to limit his appearances for his club. But he has been given a specific training programme by physio Andy Mitchell which is designed to eradicate his nagging hamstring injuries. "It is all about keeping injury-free this pre-season," he told the Bolton News as preparations continue for a first game of the season at home to Fulham. "I have been working really hard with the backroom staff to try and do things a bit differently to make sure I stay fit and play a part against Fulham. "I have done a lot of core work. Mitch' has come in and set up a programme designed to prevent the hamstring injuries, so hopefully that will help too."
