Bolton have talent to handle it, according to on-loan midfielder

Mikel Alonso is backing Bolton to handle the pressure that comes with being in the relegation zone. Sammy Lee's side are currently 19th in the Premier League and play leaders Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Alonso, who is on loan at Bolton from Real Sociedad, is confident they can climb out of the bottom three. "Football is big pressure because there are a lot of people involved with a lot of things," the midfielder told The Bolton News. "But this is the job, this is the work. We know there's pressure, and when things go wrong the pressure increases, and the importance of getting points, and getting a victory, is bigger."
